The Orangery at Kensington Palace

On June 19 we visited Kensington Palace - home to Will & Kate.

Complete with stunning gardens


This way; follow me to the Orangery
Nikki Hilton's wedding was held here two weekends after we were there - pretty place for nuptials.
At Kensington Palace in 1704, Queen Anne had an elaborate greenhouse built in the style of an elegant palace to protect her citrus trees from the harsh frosts of winter. She also recognized that The Orangery’s beautiful garden setting and graceful architecture made it a perfect venue for fashionable court entertaining away from the hubbub of Whitehall. 

I adore this China pattern - teal and gold with pops of color.

Egg mayonnaise and cress bridge roll; cucumber and fresh mint sandwiches.


Jeff chose a meatier option

Orange-scented and currant scones served with Cornish clotted cream and English strawberry jam and amazing afternoon tea pastries.
