Probably most famous as the London residence of Diana, Princess of Wales at the time of her death in 1997, Kensington Palace (pictured) has been a royal residence since the 1600's.

It was also where Queen Victoria was born in 1819 and lived to her accession, and recently, where Princess Margaret lived until her death. Parts of the Palace are open to the public (admission charge).
