Buckingham Palace, London
Serving as the administrative headquarters and London residence of Her Majesty the Queen, Buckingham Palace is one of only a few working royal palaces remaining in the world today. Situated in the City of Westminster, London, Buckingham Palace is a hugely popular London tourist attraction and symbol of London.

Home of the Queen and Prince Philip, Queen Victoria was the first monarch to take up residence at Buckingham Palace in 1837 after the architect John Nash transformed it from Buckingham House into a palace. It was previously known as Buckingham House.


As part of the alterations, Marble Arch, which was originally the entrance to the palace, was moved to a new position at the corner of Hyde Park where it lies today. Only open to the public during the summer months, while the Queen is staying at her Scottish castle Balmoral, visitors can tour the nineteen magnificent State Rooms which form the heart of the Palace. These rooms feature some of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Canaletto and sculpture by Canova.
