About Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace opens to the public for just ten weeks a year, when the King decamps to Balmoral for the summer. We've built our State Rooms itineraries around that narrow window, threading the Throne Room, the Picture Gallery, and the garden in a single morning. Here's our curated mix of videos, insights and local tips.
