Buckingham Palace was one of the highlights of my trip to London. The State Rooms were absolutely beautiful, and I especially loved the Throne Room and the Ballroom. The paintings, furniture, and decorations were elegant and impressive. It was also very interesting to see where so many important royal events take place. I’m very happy I had the chance to visit and would definitely recommend it.

The tour was excellent. However, it was absolute chaos queuing to get in. Why arrange it so that everyone for a particular time slot goes in together? Why not have a steady flow of people, which would stop the staff having to shout at people/guests because they are standing on a walkway? We all felt like cattle being herded. This needs to be sorted out to show some sort of efficiency and control! Is that the way the British want to be shown?

Although it was unbearably hot to navigate the walk and all the stairs the magic and opulence made it worthwhile. It inspires a sense of patriotism and pride that we as Brits are able to share the history and elegance of a renound worldwide building. And, enjoying "tea at Buckingham Palace ".

I was too excited to see the Palace. İmagining the Royal Family have lived there many years. The memories of the Queen and the entire Royal Family in the Palace, the Collection of art pieces and footsteps of little ones running around and music was also very meaningful where the babies have been babtised. Thanks for share this privacy with us🙏

The tour of Buckingham Palace went well. Easy access, no real wait despite the airport-style security check, and an audio guide with a choice of languages. It was very enjoyable. A wonderful tour! The Palace gin and tonic was on sale for 2 pounds at the palace gift shop—I should have bought more...😉

Explore a working palace

The Buckingham Palace acts as the London residence of His Majesty the King, and one of the few working royal palaces to remain in the world today. Every summer, the doors of the palace are opened for visitors from across the globe to learn facts and discover secrets about the Palace and the State Rooms. The State Rooms have been dubbed the “heart” of Buckingham Palace and include 19 plush rooms, ornated with treasures from the Royal Collection. Some of these treasures include paintings by Canaletto, Rubens, Poussin, and Rembrandt and extravagant sculptures by Canova.

Feel free to plug in your multimedia audio guide and walk through the decked-up rooms. Learn about the historical importance of the State Rooms and, in effect, the Palace.
