Buckingham Palace London

A trip to London will be complete only if you visit the Buckingham Palace. St James’s Park is just a few minutes walk away and you can see some of the unique birds in that park. When you visit the Buckingham Palace you can see the lifestyle of the Royal Family with a walk through the lush gardens, a tour of the State Rooms, and a trip to the Ball Supper Room for a real taste of the high life.

Buckingham Palace is both office and home to the British monarchy. It is also used for ceremonial state occasions such as banquets for visiting heads of state. About 300 people work at the palace, including officers of the Royal Household and domestic staff. Queen Victoria was the first monarch to live at the palace. The present east front, facing The Mall, was added to John Nash’s conversion in 1913. The State Rooms are now open to the public in summer.
