Built initially as Buckingham House in 1703, Buckingham Palace is the monarch's official residence. It features 775 rooms, 19 staterooms for events, and 40-acre gardens—the largest private gardens in London—and welcomes over 50,000 guests annually.
Buckingham Palace is your ticket to royal life! Unlike other royal buildings like the Tower of London, the monarch lives in Buckingham Palace!
Don’t miss the Changing of the Guards Ceremony at Buckingham Palace! See soldiers in their classic bearskin hats and red coats, marching in perfect sync with music.
The State Rooms showcase royal luxury with masterpieces by Vermeer and Rembrandt. From the opulent Throne Room to the elegant music room, every space tells a unique story! Do note, you can only visit the State Rooms from July 10 to September 28, 2025.
With over a million treasures, including masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and Van Dyck, the Royal Collection is one of the world's largest art collections. Make sure to stop by the Royal Mews to see the beautiful horses and iconic carriages used by the monarchy.
Buckingham Palace is a feast for the eyes, inside and out! Its 108-meter façade, iconic balcony, and grand columns set the stage for royal moments, while the sprawling 40-acre gardens feature 325+ plant species, a peaceful lake, and beehives producing honey since 1983.
The 19 State Rooms, including the Throne Room, Ballroom, White Drawing Room, Music Room, and more, are used by the king and the royal family for official ceremonies and entertaining. Be dazzled by crystal chandeliers, gilded ceilings, rich carpets, and walls lined with priceless paintings (think Rembrandt, Rubens, and Canaletto).
The Royal Mews offers a behind-the-scenes look at royal transport. This working stable is home to the monarch’s state vehicles – both horse-drawn carriages and motor cars. Meet the royal horses, including Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, and see the Gold State Coach used during coronations and the Diamond Jubilee State Coach.
The King’s Gallery is a public art gallery that showcases exhibitions from the Royal Collection, featuring items collected by monarchs over the centuries. Inside, you’ll find around 300 works on display, including famous paintings, rare furniture, sculptures, and even royal jewels or dresses, with context about their royal connections.
Behind the palace lies a 39-acre garden, home to a lake with waterfowl, an island sanctuary (home to the Royal beehives!), the royal tennis court, a wildflower meadow, and the Queen Victoria Memorial Garden. The gardens have rare flora, over 1,000 trees, and a rose garden; they’ve hosted royal garden parties each summer since the 1860s.
This iconic 45-min military ceremony takes place on the palace’s forecourt. Witness a regimental band playing music while a group of the Old Guard (Foot or Horse Guards) hands over duty to the New Guard, decked in traditional red uniforms and tall bearskin hats. For the best view, secure a spot by the palace railings or the Victoria Memorial.
