Please Note:

Buckingham Palace operates a timed-ticket system, with admission every 15 minutes throughout the day. You do not need to book a specific time. You will be admitted in the next available time slot. Over busy periods and bank holidays there may be a longer wait than usual to gain admission.

To avoid the main crowds, we recommend to visit the Palace in the afternoon, and to try to avoid visiting in the morning and after guard change when passenger numbers are at the highest.

Buckingham Palace serves as both the office and London residence of Her Majesty The Queen, as well as the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household. It is one of the few working royal palaces remaining in the world today.

What there is to see

The 19 State Rooms form the heart of the working palace and are lavishly furnished with some of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection - paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin and Canaletto; sculpture by Canova; exquisite examples of Sèvres porcelain; and some of the finest English and French furniture.

The Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of Britain's constitutional monarchy. It houses the offices of those who support the day-to-day activities and duties of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh and their immediate family.

The GardenDescribed as a 'walled oasis in the middle of London', the Palace's garden is home to thirty different species of bird and more than 350 different wild flowers, some extremely rare. Visitors end their tour with a walk along the south side of the garden, with splendid views of the west front of the Palace and the famous lake.

Garden CaféSituated on the West Terrace overlooking the Palace's famous lawn and lake, the Garden Café offers a selection of refreshments, including tea, coffee, juice and a choice of cakes and sandwiches. The Garden Café is open throughout the Palace's visiting hours, 9:45 AM - 6:30 pm (last admission 3:45 pm).

Special exhibitionThe exhibition at the annual Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace is Royal Fabergé, which brings together over 100 masterpieces by Carl Fabergé, from Imperial Easter Eggs and dazzling jewel-encrusted boxes to miniature carvings of favourite royal pets. In addition, there is a display featuring The Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress and the multi-tier wedding cake which was cut on 29 April.
