Buckingham Palace Tours —
The State Rooms and Garden,
Royal Mews & Queen's Gallery

Buckingham Palace, Summer Opening of The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, London, U.K.

Summer Opening of The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the official London office and residence of Her Majesty, The Queen of England.

During the Summer, when the Palace is not being used in its official capacity, visitors can enjoy a tour of the State Rooms, which form the center of the working palace. We highly recommend this fun and educational tour.

The rooms are lavishly furnished with some of the finest treasures from the Royal Collection, including many priceless works of art by Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin and Canaletto; porcelains, sculptures, and some of the world's finest English and French furniture.

Visit the Throne Room, the Music Room, and the Ballroom. See where the Queen awards knighthoods — the official sword is on display in a clear glass case. British medals and awards, including OBE's, MBE's, CBE's and more are also displayed.

Buckingham Palace and Buckingham Palace Garden, Summer Opening of The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, London, U.K.

Buckingham Palace Garden
The Palace's garden is home to over 30 species of birds and more than 350 different wild flowers, some of which are extremely rare. Visitors end their tour with a walk along the south side of the garden. It offers scenic views of the west front of the Palace and its famous lake (above).
