Buckingham Palace

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace, so perhaps it's time to visit with Alice.......

Buckingham Palace is recognised around the world as the home of The Queen, and the focus of national and royal celebrations. Step inside Buckingham Palace to discover its many treasures and magnificent State Rooms. The State Rooms of the Palace are open to visitors during the Annual Summer Opening. They are lavishly furnished with some of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection - from paintings by Rembrandt & Rubens to sculpture by Canova and Chantrey and exquisite examples of Sèvres porcelain. You will be free to wander around the garden’s winding paths at your own pace and experience the beauty and calm of this walled oasis in central London. Among the many features to discover are the 156-metre Herbaceous Border, the Horse Chestnut Avenue, the Plane trees planted by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and the famous lake with its island that is home to the Buckingham Palace bees.
