High tea amidst Royal Gardens

Your journey starts in the beautiful Kensington Gardens where you'll be guided through landscapes commissioned by Queen Victoria. Discover the Sunken Garden's Princess Diana statue, surrounded by her beloved white roses and forget-me-nots. Learn about its significance as a home to young Princes William and Harry, along with their children today. As your walk continues, take in the beauty of Kensington Gardens before arriving at the iconic Peter Pan Statue.

Indulge in a regal experience

The tour concludes with an exquisite afternoon tea at the Orangery near Diana's garden. Enjoy views over manicured gardens as you savor traditional service offerings: four classic sandwiches—egg mayonnaise with cress, smoked salmon with cream cheese, roast ham with English mustard, and cucumber with fresh mint.
