Enjoy a day out visiting Buckingham Palace which serves as the official London residence of His Majesty The King, and is one of the few remaining working royal palaces in the world today.
Each summer when the Palace is not being used in its official capacity, visitors can enjoy the 19 magnificent State Rooms that provide the setting for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining by members of the Royal Family.
The rooms are furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Van Dyck, sculpture by Canova, exquisite examples of Sèvres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.
Visitors to the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace will see the White Drawing Room, perhaps the most beautiful of all the State Rooms with its spectacular crystal chandelier, the Music Room, where guests are presented on the occasion of a State Visit, and the Throne Room, which was the setting for the formal photographs following the wedding of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales.
After your visit you can take a stroll along The Mall to The Royal Horseguards Hotel to enjoy a relaxing dining experience.
An impressive historic building in London, The Royal Horseguards Hotel is situated on the River Thames at the Embankment. It encompasses two iconic buildings: The National Liberal Club which has played host to historical icons including Churchill, Gladstone and Lloyd-George; and the club’s magnificent apartments which were previously the home of the first chief of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service.
Inside you’ll find Victorian grandeur combined with elegant, first-class contemporary comfort which sets The Royal Horseguards Hotel apart as one of the finest hotels near Westminster.

The meal at the Horseguards Hotel was excellent. Really enjoyed it. However I was surprised to find a service charge of £14 for one glass of water. Buckingham Palace was a complete disappointment I feel that it was very unorganised. Overcrowded considering it was a booked guided tour. There was no guide just a set of headphones which I don’t think were even wiped let alone sanitised. The information was not really historical so I did find it rather boring. The rooms we were allowed in were really packed with people and I found them to be quite airless. We weren’t allowed to take liquids in so I found it very unpleasant. A normal ticket would allow return visits for 12 months. However our ticket was not. This is not a fault of trust pilot but our opinion.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I can only apologise that you were unhappy with this, in relation to the service charge I have queried this with the supplier. In regards to the guide, I can confirm this is not stated within the activity information that there was a guide taking this tour, so I can only apologise for any disappointment. Kind regards, Abbie
