Overview

Step beyond the palace gates during the limited summer opening of Buckingham Palace’s State Rooms. Begin with an expert-led walk through St. James’s Park and along the Mall, where royal traditions, ceremonial events, and stories of the monarchy unfold beside London’s famous processional route. At Buckingham Palace, your guide verifies your privileged access ticket and provides an audio guide for the interior. Continue independently through the Grand Staircase, White Drawing Room, Ballroom, and Throne Room, where paintings, period furnishings, and ceremonial spaces reveal how the palace serves the Royal Family. Because the State Rooms open for only a few weeks each summer, this tour offers a rare chance to see areas normally closed to the public.
