Buckingham Palace State Rooms Summer Opening

Buckingham Palace

On now, until 27 September 2026

The State Rooms of Buckingham Palace open to the public for their annual summer stretch, throne room, ballroom and grand staircase included, plus the palace gardens beyond. A rare chance to walk halls usually reserved for heads of state, while summer crowds queue at the gate. Book ahead, this run does not last long.
