Kew Palace was pretty cool to explore. I particularly liked seeing the old kitchens and how things were done back then. It’s always impressive seeing historic houses as it really gives you an insight into how people lived back then. I’d say that Kew Palace is best to visit alongside exploring Kew Gardens itself as it won’t take up a whole day. Overall, was worth the visit.
