Buckingham Palace State Rooms are closed for 2025 and will reopen summer 2026
A visit to the Buckingham Palace State Rooms is a magical way to step into the world of royalty, and it’s only open to the public for a limited time each summer. This is your chance to explore the King's official London residence and one of the most iconic palaces in the world.
Perfect for history lovers, royal fans or anyone who enjoys a touch of grandeur, this experience offers a fascinating multimedia tour of 19 breathtaking State Rooms. These aren’t just any rooms, they’re the grand spaces used for official ceremonies and royal entertaining. Inside, you’ll see priceless paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Van Dyck, along with exquisite sculptures, glittering chandeliers, and beautifully detailed furniture from the Royal Collection.
Highlights include the White Drawing Room, known for its stunning chandelier and elegant design, the Music Room where royal guests are received, and the famous Throne Room, the very spot where official royal wedding photos are taken. It’s a walk through history and splendour, with something new to admire at every turn.
After exploring the palace, why not relax at the Garden Café, tucked away in the beautiful royal gardens. With views of the lake and a chance to enjoy tea and light bites, it’s the perfect end to a special day out*. You can even browse the Garden Shop for unique royal-themed gifts and keepsakes.
Whether you're planning a thoughtful present or a memorable day out with a loved one, this Buckingham Palace experience is a truly majestic gift. It's only available during the summer months, so it’s ideal for those looking for something exclusive, meaningful and a little bit magical.
