Skip the Line: Buckingham Palace Tour
See where Her Majesty the Queen lives and take a tour of Buckingham Palace. Booking your tour ahead of time and you'll jump the queue - don't waste time waiting in lines on vacation. Open for a limited time between August and September, combine your tour with a typically English afternoon tea at either Fortnum&Mason or Grosvenor House.
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837. The palace hosts many official events and receptions held by the Queen and Members of the Royal Family. When The Queen makes her annual visit to Scotland, the Palace's nineteen state rooms open for a limited time.
The State Rooms form the heart of the working palace. They are lavishly furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection adorned with paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer and Canaletto. You'll see exquisite examples of S'vres porcelain and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world. Your free audio tour provides an introduction to centuries of royal history, including interviews with royal household staff.
