Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces to undertake recording of the internal wall surfaces of the building, which formed the former Royal Kitchens to Kew Palace, within the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Greater London. The recording of the internal wall surfaces work was required by the Curator (Historic Buildings) at Historic Royal Palaces, in order to inform a project to open the building to the public. The former Royal Kitchens are Grade II Listed and are described in their listing citation as 'The most substantial survival of William Kent's Kew Palace of 1731-5.' The building is roughly centred on OS NGR 518460 1774190. Kew Palace was constructed in 1631 and was leased by the Royal Family from the late 1720s. In 1728, Frederick, Prince of Wales took a lease on an existing house opposite the palace. This was remodelled by the architect William Kent, who constructed the flanking kitchen. For the last quarter of the 18th century, the White House was the principal royal residence at Kew for summer breaks, although the White House was demolished c.1802, the kitchens survived. The work was undertaken in 2010 and comprised a detailed physical examination of all wall surfaces. The findings were plotted on existing internal elevation drawings. The recording showed that the positions of many former features, such as charcoal ovens, doorways, shelves, fireplaces, mantel pieces and pieces of furniture, such as dressers are still visible. Inspection of the Great Kitchen showed at least four phases of alteration.
