Historic Royal Palaces

Historic Royal Palaces

The Historic Royal Palaces Agency is a public body created in 1989 to manage England's unoccupied royal palaces. These are:

* The Tower of London
* Hampton Court Palace
* Kensington Palace - the state rooms only.
* Banqueting House
* Kew Palace

'Historic Royal Palaces' is contracted by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to manage the palaces on The Queen's behalf. The occupied royal palaces are cared for and maintained by the Royal Household Property Section. They are all open to the public.
