I visit the Gardens regularly, Kew Palace is a tiny gem within and well worth a visit. Not gonna lie, some of the staff members looked unapproachable and just completely bored being there (hence the 4 star review) however I would love to say a big thank you to Matthew who guided me through the attic and the Tudor wine basement during his Hidden Spaces Tour.

The most intimate of royal palaces, Kew Palace was built as a private house in 1631 and used by the royal family between 1729 and 1818. In happier times, George III, Queen Charlotte and their 15 children enjoyed a relatively simple domestic routine at Kew. In later years the atmosphere darkened as Kew became a retreat for the ailing King.
