Buckingham Palace

"Buck 'ouse" as every proud cabbie will lovingly dub it, this resplendent palace has been the official residence to the Royal Family since Queen Victoria's reign. Join the crowds that throng here to get a glimpse from the intricate gates up to the famous balcony where Kate and Wills shared that newlywed kiss for adoring crowds below, or catch the stirring daily ceremony of the Changing of the Guard. In the summer months, the Palace's State Rooms are open for visitors to get a taste of the lavish royal life and learn about the building's (and family's) astonishing history.
