Stop At: Buckingham Palace, Spur Road, London SW1A 1AA England

Official London residence of the monarchy since 1837, Buckingham Palace is the centrepiece and jewel in the British crown. Starting its life as a private house called 'Buckingham House' built in 1705 for the Duke of Buckingham, it was eventually brought into royal hands in 1761 by King George III and renovated over time into the palace as we know it today.

Recognised around the world, Buckingham Palace opens its doors every summer to visitors from around the world. On this tour of the State Rooms, you'll see important rooms such as the Throne Room, The White Drawing Room and the Ballroom, each more lavishly decorated than the last and filled with ornate furniture, paintings and treasures.

Enjoy the tour at your own pace with an audio multimedia guide that explains the history of the palace and the various rooms within the State Rooms. At the end of your tour, you'll walk along the south side of the Palace garden, where you'll meet your guide before the next part of your Royal journey.
