[July-September only] Buckingham Palace Ticket (entry time needs to be confirmed)

£33.00

Limited access to Buckingham Palace is available from July to September each year—one of the few remaining royal palaces still in use in the world! During the summer months, when Buckingham Palace is not used for official purposes, visitors can tour its 19 magnificent State Rooms. These State Rooms were once the venue for royal ceremonies and receptions. The rooms display numerous treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, and Van Dyck, sculptures by Canova, exquisite Sèvres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.

Visitors to Buckingham Palace’s summer open house will see the White Drawing Room, perhaps the most beautiful of all the State Rooms, with its spectacular crystal chandeliers; the Music Room, where guests are received during state visits; and the Throne Room, which was recently the location for the official portraits of the King and Queen at their coronation.
