The Official Residences of the Sovereign and the Royal Collection
Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse are the official residences of the Sovereign and, as such, serve as both home and office for The Queen, whose personal standard flies whenever Her Majesty is in residence.
These buildings are used extensively for State ceremonies and official entertaining and are opened to the public as much as these commitments allow.
All are furnished with fine pictures and works of art from the Royal Collection, which has been assembled over four centuries by successive sovereigns. Many of the State Apartments and rooms at the official residences have been in continuous use since their conception and many of the works of art are displayed in the rooms for which they were originally intended.
The official residences are in regular use and the style and manner in which they are shown to visitors reflects their working status. Rooms are kept as close to their normal appearance as possible. Inevitably, opening times are subject to change at short notice, depending on circumstances.
The Royal Collection, which is owned by The Queen as Sovereign in trust for her successors and the Nation, is administered by the Royal Collection Trust, to which a proportion of admission fees and other income from visitors is directed.
The remainder of this income funds the majority of the cost of restoring Windsor Castle, which was badly damaged by fire in November 1992.
In 1993 the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace were opened to the public for the first time. The income generated funds the majority of the cost of the restoration of Windsor Castle, a part of which was badly damaged by fire during the previous year. It has recently been announced that the Summer Opening will continue beyond the completion of this restoration in 1998 and the State Rooms will, therefore, be open during August and September each year.
During this time visitors are able to tour many of the grandest rooms in the Palace. These are furnished with some of the most important pictures and works of art from the Royal Collection, one of the finest art collections in the world. These rooms, which form the nucleus of the working Palace today, are regularly used by The Queen and the Royal Family for official entertaining, Court ceremonial and State functions.
Entering the Palace via the Ambassadors’ Entrance and the Quadrangle, visitors arrive at the Guard Room, the traditional entrance to the rooms of the Sovereign. Here the great suite of rooms starts with the Green Drawing Room and includes the Throne Room where loyal addresses are delivered , the Picture Gallery with its outstanding collection of paintings including works by Vermeer, Rubens, Rembrandt, van Dyck and Canaletto, the State Dining Room, the magnificent Blue and White Drawing Rooms, which overlook the gardens, the Marble Hall and the Bow Room.
Visitors then leave via the garden where The Queen’s garden parties are held each summer.
To ensure visitors enjoy their tour to the full,
a comprehensive Official Guide to the State
Rooms is available in English, French, German,
Italian and Japanese languages for purchase.
Admission Tickets
Admission tickets may be purchased in advance by telephone, subject to availability. During the Summer Opening, tickets are available on the day or in advance, from 9:00 am, at the Ticket Office in Green Park.
Day tickets first-come, are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, with each ticket indicating a specific time to enter Buckingham Palace.
For further information, please contact the Visitor Office at Buckingham Palace.
