Our experience was wonderful. We purchased tickets beforehand to visit the staterooms through viator. We picked up our tickets from the shop across the street, as per instructions, which went very smoothly. We had also reserved a wheelchair for my grandmother (btw, if you do that, you get a free companion ticket!) which was waiting for us at the gate.... more

I've worked in London for many years and have never been to Buckingham Palace. So this year, as part of my mission to visit more places in England, we booked a trip to the palace! We actually booked online and we were extremely glad we did, as the queues were horrendous - although quite well managed by the staff. The... more

This is a great value attraction which can take up to 2 hours, it is great to have the audio and move at your own pace much better than listening to a guide who moves you at their pace. Don't have tea before you go in because the cafe in the garden serves the best pastries I have ever seen. more

Then you can skip the queues completely. I visited on a Thursday morning, and toured the state rooms and... more

A definite must see if you are there during the opening of the state rooms during August and September. Get there early. If not he que to buy tickets and to get in can be long. The admission I believe was around 17 pounds, but is definitely worth it. more

I have toured the Palace several times but was extremely foturnate to catch the exhibit wherein the Queen had several of her dresses and jewels from years past on display. Absolutely magnificent. If you have the chance to catch this, I highly reccommend it. The Palace has an extraordinary feel to it. Something about walking the halls, down the stairs... more

I went to Buckingham palace last week, there where too many people inside for me to be able to look at the exhibition properly. It was very claustraphobic in some of the room with too many people trying to look at the exhibits which in some places where in small cases at a low level, The really bad part was... more

Buckingham Palace is situated in Green Park, which is a short walk away from Trafalgar Square in Central London. it's a nice stroll through the park to get to the palace... quite a lot of ducks there, so bring bread for some fun! Buckingham Palace is currently open to the public, though the admission price is about twenty pounds, so... more
