Entrance to The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace With Afternoon Tea or Meal For 2

The ultimate in Royal adventures, a visit to Buckingham Palace is a must have for any Royal fan!

Despite the palace being the official residency to the King, each summer the palace opens its doors to showcase the 19 amazing State Rooms which are home to ceremonial occasions and official entertaining by members of the Royal Family.

You will see such delights as treasures from the Royal Collections such as paintings, porcelain and furniture as well as seeing the grandeur which is the White Drawing Room with its remarkable 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.

You won’t want to leave but unfortunately you will have to eventually! But you then have the delectable afternoon tea with a sparkling option or a two course meal to enjoy at an impressive hotel situated on the River Thames at the Embankment.

Buckingham Palace State Rooms will reopen the 10th July until the 28th September 2025
