Kensington Palace & Lion King

The visit to Kengsington was pretty average. The palace is pretty and its gardens even more prettier. Other than a few rooms which reek of royalty, the rest of the rooms are average.

We were expecting some additional memorablia of Lady Diana but there isn't anything.

We started the day planning to visit Madame Tussads but we spotted tickets for a special afternoon show of Lion King - The Musical and decided to grab them. Hence we opted to check out Kengsington before we headed for the musical.

Lion King - The Musical is truly spectacular. I have never seen a better stage performance so larger than life combined with brilliant music and a whole array of colours. Its a complete adaptation of the movie and if you've seen the movie, then the story is no different. But the stage adaptation makes you forget that you ever watched the movie before. They have enacted elephants, giraffes and other animals so brilliantly that it leaves you stunned. It got a spectacular ovation especially during the final bows by the actors and left a memory which we will cherish forever.

Don't miss this if you ever get a chance.
