Buckingham Palace

Guided audio tour of the state rooms and picture gallery

Buckingham Palace serves as both the office and London residence of His Majesty The King. It is one of the few working royal palaces remaining in the world today. We have been most fortunate to secure this booking for a group visit which will include –

The State Rooms

At the heart of the palace, the State Rooms provide the setting for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining. There are 19 rooms to enjoy, lavishly furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings, sculpture and porcelain. An audio tour provides a guide to royal history and the works of art. Along the route, staff of the Royal household explain the role of the working Palace and about their work in it. The Picture Gallery Created for King George IV in the 1820s, this 47 metre long gallery is one of the principle rooms for official entertaining. The artworks on display are changed regularly as the King loans many paintings to exhibitions around the UK and abroad. Among the great artists represented are Titian, Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck and Claude.

The Garden Shop

offering a wide range of exclusive gift items inspired by the works of art in the Royal Collection, many of which are displayed in the State Rooms. You can purchase homeware, china, clothing and jewellery, children’s toys, books and postcards.

The Garden Cafe

At the end of your visit to the State Rooms, you can enjoy a moment of relaxation and refreshment in the Garden Café on the Palace’s West Terrace. The Café serves a selection of light refreshments, including tea, coffee, sandwiches and delicious pastries, specially created for Buckingham Palace.
