Kew Palace is a brick-built royal residence located within the grounds of the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, in Surrey. The structure dates from 1631 and was constructed as a private house before being acquired by the royal family in the late eighteenth century. The palace served as a residence for members of the royal household, most notably George III, and represents an important example of early Stuart domestic architecture in the Home Counties. The building survives largely intact and is now managed as part of the historic estate, functioning both as a monument to royal occupation and as a record of seventeenth-century building practices and domestic arrangement.
