| Buckingham Palace (London) Open daily August to September, 9.30am - 4.15pm, tickets cost £9.50 for entrance to the home of the Royals since the reign of Victoria. The history of the palace dates back to 1702, but with just eighteen of the 600 rooms open to the public it's only a small taste of what life is like behind the great palace walls. The highlight is probably the Picture Gallery, stretching right through the palace and containing the Queens art collection, which is larger than that of the National Gallery. Don't expect to see the Queen as she usually heads off to Scotland for the summer months. |
