Buckingham Palace

This is a review of the state rooms at Buckingham Palace. In less than a month I will be moving away from London and this was possibly my last weekend here so a friend and I decided that we must do something very touristy. I looked up Buckingham Palace on the internet only to discover that it is very expensive and you only get to visit the state rooms, not the actual living area. So we decided we would go to Tower Bridge instead. On our way to Tower Bridge we had to change trains at Green Park where we discovered that the line we wanted was closed. Fate obviously wanted us to visit the Queen and who are we to argue with fate? -Arrival and ...  Read the complete review

Buckingham Palace is one attraction in London which is often high on many tourists list when coming to visit London and I had walked past a few times and found myself in awe of the beauty of the building. On a to London last year I decided that enough was enough and I was going to visit the Palace and experience it's true splendour and beauty for myself. The nearest tube station is Green Park and this is where we departed. The Palace is well signposted and took just five or ten minutes at an average walking speed (read - slow). Buckingham Palace stands amazingly tall and is one of the most instantly recognisable landmarks in the world. It has ...  Read the complete review

On the Sunday of our recent stay in London we were at the London Dungeons and then the one thing that my fiancé had been winging to see all day was Buckingham Palace. Basically we had to rush there to take a look before catching the train home. I had been before but Dave hadn't and he loved it. This is why Buckingham Palace should be on your sight seeing tour if you go to London. So why Buckingham Palace? Well Buckingham Palace is the home of the British Monarchy and that is all there is to it. This enough guarantees millions of visitors per year to the Palace in hopes of seeing some royalty when they are entertaining or even just to stand and stare at ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I visited Buckingham Palace this past weekend and I definitely have to recommend it, it is well worth a visit and makes you quite proud to be English when you are there. As we all know Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British Monarch. In recent years they have taken the decision to open up some of the state rooms to the public to keep up with the times and promote themselves as a forward thinking monarchy. This only happens in summer (this year, 29th July to 29th September) as the rest of the time the family still live there. Buckingham Palace is one of the last working palaces in the world. My visit first ...  Read the complete review

NAME OF LOCATION: Buckingham Palace, perhaps the most famous building in the world, one of the London homes of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her consort, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. BACKGROUND: Buckingham Palace State Rooms have been open since the early 1990s. My parents went to see them during the Golden Jubilee year celebrations and I had tried to get on Gee Vee Travel’s next trip that year, but it was fully booked. However, I fully intended to book a trip as soon as I saw it being offered again. Which is why, I booked this in January! The trips were available on several dates but we chose to go on the last Saturday available: 25 ...  Read the complete review
