Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch and one of the few functioning royal palaces in the world. Known for its iconic balcony used during royal events, it has 775 rooms and has served as a symbol of the monarchy for over a century.
Remarkably, it was bombed several times during World War II, but the royal family remained in residence to show unity with the nation. Since 1993, the palace has opened its State Rooms to the public each summer.
Changing of the Guard (year-round, most days): A ceremonial event with marching guards and music, very popular with photographers.
Trooping the Colour (June): The monarch’s official birthday parade, with a military display and royal family appearance on the balcony.
Underground (Tube):
Victoria Line – Victoria Station (10-minute walk)
District & Circle Lines – St. James's Park Station (5–7-minute walk)
Piccadilly Line – Green Park Station (8–10-minute walk)
Bus:
