Historic Royal Palaces is an independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle.

Our aim is to help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built.

We raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, sponsors and volunteers.

We exist for tomorrow, not just yesterday.

Our job is to give these palaces a future as valuable as their past.

We know how precious they and their contents are, and we aim to conserve them to the standard they deserve: the best.
