Staff at the Gallery were lovely. The gowns are to die for! Very well laid out and good lighting. Perfect

This was an amazing experience!!! It was about an hour long and showcased Queen Elizabeths dresses from birth to most recent. Definitely worth your time!

I cannot praise this exhibition highly enough. It is so beautifully curated and is such a great homage to the life and style of Elizabeth II. The gallery is such a perfect backdrop to the clothing and I would see it again in a heartbeat. However, I am here from Australia, so this was such a special opportunity for me to see this special and fascinating display. PLEASE BRING THE EXHIBITION TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!! I want to see it again, and so many people have told me how much they would love to see this collection. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

This was very well done and a wide variety of decades and styles. They paired stories and commentary with each section. Plan ahead to get in one line to turn in your voucher and then get in another line for your timed entry. We arrived early and was glad we did. The line to turn in our vouchers was slow and took us a half an hour so plan ahead. The timed entry line moved quickly and we were in right on time. Also be prepared to go through security and any bags searched and tagged. The tour also dives into the designers and their role in some of her clothing. Very interesting. Lastly, the gift shop had a little bit of eve! Save room in your luggage for souvenirs!!

The display was AMAZING - highly recommend. So so beautiful and really special to see. The check in process was a bit slow - the front desk was having troubling identifying Viator bookings, so this caused a delay but we were able to attend even though the wait meant we missed our time slot.

Make sure you get to the King's gallery early. Go in and exchange your email voucher for a ticket. ( That is if you want a keepsake ticket)
Get in line for your time slot. They are very organized to get the crowds in.
Loved the experience. A wonderful exhibition.

Fantastic for lovers of the late Queen Elizabeth, the history of fashion, dressmaking generally, embroidery and jewellery in a beautiful historic building. It does get crowded but there is plenty of time, so don't rush through shoving people out of the way with your sharp elbows.

While the exhibition is fantastic ,the organisation is dreadful.
We joined the queue at about 11.15 for a 11.45 slot just as we got to the front of the queue at 11.45 we were told to go away and come back in 15 minutes because they were still letting in the 11.30 entrants. When we came back 15 minutes later the queue was even longer and we were told that they were now letting in the 12 o'clock entrants. We were then told that people who had vouchers had to get in another queue to collect tickets. There was no signs for this ,it was absolute chaos. There should have been separate signage and a better queueing system.

Awesome well done!! So much to see and enjoy! Plan on staying there for a minimum of two hours or so.

Make sure to check in before your time so they can convert your ticket to an actual ticket . Wife loved it

Very well done! Beautiful even magical. It brought her back to life in the most glorious way. Gorgeous displays organized to carry you on a the journey with her. So amazing to see the detail in person made me appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity of the London designers of her time. Simply lovely like the queen herself.

Wonderful display of Queen Elizabeth's clothing through the years. Interesting historical commentary and the sketches from design to completed item are quite impressive.
Yvonne_T, Apr 2026
Brilliant exhibition really enjoyed it the dresses are amazing such beautiful embroidery and workmanship
Susan_S, Apr 2026
Wonderful exhibition. Able to get so close to the dresses. Fascinating history. Very well laid out but could go either way better directional signage.

Very good experience!
BUY if you buy ticket to Kings Gallery through their website, you can turn your ticket into a free one year pass to the gallery. However this does not work if you book your ticket through third party.

Great historic photo’s by great photographers. Worth the time if you enjoy this type of stuff. Next to Buckingham Palace.

Due to London going into Tier 3
We were unable to go to this exhibition
Please advise how refunds or credit notes are going to be organized. As yet we have heard nothing from the Queens Gallery
Clive_A, Dec 2020
Great paintings and audio guide. Well worth the visit. Book direct to be able to convert ticket to year long pass (not via Viator )

My friend and I both enjoyed the Masterpieces. I had some problems calling up my tickets as the broadband wasn't very good at the entrance. I didn't realise that I booked with Viator and it took quite a while to find our tickets. Viator tickets aren't valid for one year entry which I was disappointed about. Next time I will book with Buckingham palace direct.
JamesStratford, Dec 2020
Exhibition interesting rather than excellent
Gallery unusually empty which was good
Tickets purchased through Viator can only be used once rather than for 12 months so I wasted money unnecessarily
JamesStratford, Dec 2020
DO NOT use Viator for tickets to Royal. Collection
They can only be used once whereas if one buys them at the Gallery the price is the same and the ticket is valid for 12 months
Gallery itself was good and pleasurably uncrowded
JamesStratford, Dec 2020
The gallery was much less crowded than usual. This was good.
There are some excellent pictures but also some rather uninteresting ones
My biggest issue is that a ticket purchased through Viator can only be used once. If one buys it at the museum one can use it several times in the next 12 months. For exactly the same price so if one wants to do this DO NOT use Viator

I prebought the two tickets. On arrival the staff took a long time to print the actual tickets. Otherwise a good experience.
Marion_R, May 2026
The exhibition is rightly sold out until October. Very nicely designed, fantastic selection of clothes.
Handling with the voucher totally without any problems.

The exhibition on Queen Elizabeth II is beautiful.
The Viator experience, however, is not! The ticket was unknown. The host did not know this partner and did not know how to give us the corresponding tickets. We were stuck 20 minutes before we could get our tickets in exchange for the voucher.
