Tickets Overview

  • See one of the few working palaces in the world

  • Multiple tour options – guided, self-guided, audio, interactive

  • Visit the residence of British royalty

  • Open to visitors during the summer months – purchase these limited-time tickets in advance

  • The palace's central location makes it easy to visit other attractions around London

Since Buckingham Palace is only open to visitors during the summer months, you can imagine tickets can be difficult to come by.

Booking Buckingham Palace tickets in advance is nearly always required, not only to avoid the crowded lines, but to ensure access to the King's private residence on your schedule.

Choose the right Buckingham Palace tickets for you:

  • Entry tickets to Buckingham Palace include access to the State Rooms – lavishly decorated public rooms in Buckingham Palace for important royal events

  • Tack on a guided tour and learn all about the royal family from an expert, or see other sites around London

  • Save time and money and book multiple attractions in addition to Buckingham Palace with a London city card, including Changing of the Guard, Royal Mews, Westminster Abbey, and Parliament

  • The State Rooms of Buckingham Palace are only open to visitors during the summer months, from July to the beginning of October

  • Tickets are on a timed-entry system – don't be late!

  • The best time to visit is during the summer when the palace is open and the gardens are in bloom

  • Evening tours are available with a private booking

  • Buckingham Palace is wheelchair accessible (and companions can get in for free)

  • You won't catch a glimpse of the King on your tour – he is not in residence during the summer

Absolutely brilliant my advice: take it slow and ensure you see everything! Tea in the garden is a must as is the ice cream on the way out. Will be returning next year with my daughter.
