Букингемский Дворец является резиденцией английских королей и королев с тех пор, как королева Виктория взошла на трон в 1937 году. Его 600 комнат и земли находятся на месте Букингемского Дома, построенного в 1703 году Джоном Шефилдом Герцогом Букингемским.
Король Георг III купил этот дом в 1762 году. Современный дворец — строительные работы начались в 1825 году — был спроектирован Джоном Нэшем по поручению короля Георга IV. Восточное или переднее крыло, наиболее известная публике часть дворца, было построено в 1847 году и обновлено портлендским камнем в 1913 году.
Государственные апартаменты находятся в западном крыле и граничат с Большим Холлом и Большой Лестницей. Комната для проведения балов, самая большая среди аппартаментов, была построенна для королевы Виктории в 1850-х годах. В настоящее время она используется для государственных банкетов.
Картинная галерея и Государственные палаты в Букингемском Дворце открыты для публики каждый год в августе и сентябре. Личные апартаменты Королевы находятся в северном крыле, а на противоположной стороне — Королевская Галерея, которая открыта для публики с 1962 года и демонстрирует произведения искусства из королевской коллекции.
Дворцовые сады используются для проведения королевских праздников. Королевские конюшни, расположенные в южной части, каретный дом, лошади и королевские машины также открыты для публики каждую неделю.
