  • Enter the domain of British royalty with a tour of Buckingham Palace's 19 magnificent State Rooms
  • Explore The White Drawing Room, Throne Room, Ballroom, Picture Gallery, and more
  • Enjoy a spot of tea in the Garden Cafe and admire the royal landscaping across the lawns and flowerbeds

Buckingham Palace serves as the official London residence of His Majesty The King, and is one of the few remaining working royal palaces in the world today.

Each summer, when the palace is not being used in its official capacity, visitors can enjoy the 19 magnificent State Rooms that provide the setting for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining by members of the Royal Family.

The rooms are furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, and Van Dyck; sculpture by Canova, exquisite examples of Sèvres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.

Visitors to the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace will see the White Drawing Room, perhaps the most beautiful of all the State Rooms with its spectacular crystal chandelier, the Music Room, where guests are presented on the occasion of a State Visit, and the Throne Room, which was the setting for the formal photographs following the wedding of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales.

Following a visit, the Palace's Garden Café offers the perfect location to enjoy a selection of light refreshments while taking in panoramic views of the lake across the lawn, before visiting the Garden Shop.

Insider tip

To supercharge your trip with even more quintessentially British tradition, time your visit with the iconic changing of the Royal Guard.

It was an extraordinary experience to go through the state rooms knowing that members of the royal family live and work there. Even of there are a lot of visitors everything can be seen easily.
