Overview

Join us as we visit Buckingham Palace for a Tour.

Enjoy the ultimate royal experience at the home of the British monarchy. The Palace doors swing open to the public every summer for guided tours. They can’t wait to welcome you in and make some magical memories together.

  • The 19 State Rooms are the main reception chambers of Buckingham Palace, used by the monarch
  • The White Drawing Room, perhaps the grandest of all the State Rooms, serves as a royal reception room for The King and members of the Royal Family to gather before official occasions. While you take in the splendour of the room, see if you can spot the enormous hidden door formed from one of the four side cabinets and mirrors and members of the Royal Family for all kinds of ceremonial, official, diplomatic and personal occasions. There are many famous, must-see moments within these spectacular rooms. Don't miss the red-carpeted Grand Staircase, the Throne Room and the breathtaking Ballroom. 
  • Come for the majesty, stay for the masters. A visit to the State Rooms is a chance to see some of the finest paintings by some of the biggest names in art history.
  • The Picture Gallery inside Buckingham Palace displays some of the greatest paintings in the Royal Collection. A highlight has to be the Music Lesson by Johannes Vermeer. There are just 5 Vermeer paintings in the whole of the UK and only 34 in total anywhere in the world, so this is a rare opportunity to see one first-hand.
  • Come and visit Buckingham Palace this summer and be amazed by the magnificent outfits worn by King Charles III and Queen Camilla during their historic Coronation in 2023.
  • Step into the Ballroom to see there special Coronation display including the Robe of Estate worn by The King, and Queen Camilla’s beautiful Coronation Dress and Robe of Estate.
  • Don’t miss the chance to enjoy the sculptures in the Marble Hall of the Palace. The beautiful sculptures were created by Italian maestro Antonio Canova, who is considered to be one of the greatest artists of his time. Canova created three masterpieces for King George IV, including the sublime Mars and Venus which was carved from a single block of stone.
  • Even more royal spectacle awaits outside of the State Rooms tour, with Buckingham Palace's art gallery and working stables both open for visitors, and of course the world-famous Palace façade, with the balcony, the gates and the guards.
  • Sometimes, all that glitters really is gold! One of the stars of King Charles III's Coronation in 2023 was the magnificent 260-year-old Gold State Coach. This carriage is a spectacular, living part of British history, having transported every king and queen to their Coronation since 1831.
  • The Gold State Coach is on display at the Royal Mews, the working stables of Buckingham Palace.
  • And much much more.
