Buckingham Palace - The State Rooms

After joining the coach at your chosen point we head for our destination - London. The driver will advise you of your expected arrival time after they have left their last local departure point. 

Your entry to Buckingham Palace is booked at 12.30hrs, and the coach will depart from London at 16.00hrs.

You may have a bit of free time before your multimedia audio tour of the State Rooms, have a wander to the front of the palace and enjoy the wonderful frontage of the Palace and ornamental gates.

Buckingham Palace is recognised around the world as the home of the monarch, the focus of national and royal celebrations, as well as the backdrop to the regular Changing the Guard ceremony.

The State Rooms are the public rooms in the Palace where the monarch and members of the Royal Family receive and entertain their guests on State, ceremonial and official occasions. There are 19 State Rooms, which mainly reflect the taste of George IV, who commissioned the architect John Nash to transform Buckingham House into a grand palace in 1825. The State Rooms are furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Van Dyck and Canaletto, sculpture by Canova, Sèvres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.

Many of the State Rooms have particular uses today. The Throne Room is used for court ceremonies and official entertaining, and was the setting for the wedding photos of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. 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.

At the end of the visit to the State Rooms, Buckingham Palace's popular Garden Cafe is the perfect place for groups to gather and enjoy views across the famous lawn.
