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.

Your free audio tour provides an introduction to centuries of royal history, including interviews with royal household staff.
