Traveler reviews
Karen Dedman
★★★★★2 months agoWe had a fabulous day viewing the Queen's dresses at the King's gallery. Very informative on how she chose those designers for her every day wear to her official state visits, Coronation and wedding dress. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who is interested in the world of her late majesty's couture.

★★★★★2 months agoWe really loved visiting Her Life In Style. We pre booked for 10am and was one of the first ones through the door. The cloths were layed out beautiful and the information boards really explained the dresses. The queens hand written notes about the christening gown regarding all the babies that have worn it. We are planning on going back soon. Location was easy to find down the side of Buckingham Palace. Staff were all very nice to talk to. There is a gift shop with a large selction of gifts. Lavatories were clean.
