![]() Kensington PalaceTravel Information and nearby accommodation
When Sir George Coppin built the house in 1605, it slumbered in peaceful splendour amid farmland, but the city gradually spread to envelope it. William and Mary bought the house in 1689 and brought in Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor to enlarge it. This they did in an informal, "homey" style, at least compared to the regal stuffiness of Hampton Court. The State Apartments show art from the Royal Collection, and there is also a Court Dress Collection.
