Overview

History & significance

Kew Palace is a substantial brick-built royal residence dating principally from the late 17th century, constructed in 1631 and substantially rebuilt in 1802. The palace served as a private residence for members of the royal family, most notably George III and Queen Charlotte, who occupied it during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The building survives as a largely intact example of Georgian domestic architecture, retaining its characteristic red brick construction and period fenestration.
