her home, that it was most intense.

This was the birthplace of Queen
Victoria and home of Princess Diana. King William 111
bought the house from the Earl of Nottingham in 1689 and had
it remodelled by Sir Christopher Wren. At the time the house
was a welcome respite from the unpredictable drains of Whitehall
Palace. Several state rooms are open to the public, details.
Set in the middle of the graceful Kensington Gardens its is
near the fashionable shopping districts of Kensington,
Knighstbridge and Chelsea
