Buckingham Palace

Buckingham PalaceBuckingham Palace is the official London home of the British Royal Family, and therefore, in the public eye at least, the seat of the British monarchy. It was first built in the early 1700s as a town house by the Duke of Buckingham, but was soon converted to a royal residence.

Since Queen Victoria moved into Buckingham Palace in 1836, its east faÁade facing the Mall has become something of a British icon, often finding itself at the centre of British history.

Today visitors are allowed in, and can tour the State Rooms, which feature some of the finest French and English furniture in existence. This is a suitably grand set for the granting of knighthoods. Buckingham Palace really is the jewel in the crown of London attractions.
