Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace has served as official London residence of Britain’s sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch.

Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. These include 19 State Rooms, 52 Royal and guests bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. The building is 108 meters long across the front and 24 meters high.

The Palace is very much a working building and the home of Britain’s constitutional monarchy. It houses the offices of those who support the day-to- day activities and duties of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburg and their family.

The Palace is also the venue for Royal ceremonies, State Visits and Investitures, all of which are organized by the Royal House.

Although in use for many official events and receptions held by the Queen, the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are opened to visitors every year during August and September.

The State Rooms are the heart of the working Palace and are used regularly by the Queen and members of the Royal Family for official and State entertaining.

More than 50,000 people visit the Palace each year as guests to banquets, lunches,   dinners, receptions and the Royal Garden Party.

The Ballroom has been used variously as a concert hall for memorial concerts and performances of the arts and it is the regular venue for Investitures of which there are usually 21a year—9 in spring, 2 in summer and 10 in autumn.

At Investitures the Queen meets recipients of British honour and give them their awards, including knighting those who have been awarded knighthoods.

The State Dining Room is one of the principal State Rooms on the west side of the Palace. Many famous people had dinner in this room, including presidents and prime ministers.

Although the Buckingham Palace is furnished and decorated with priceless works of art that form part of the Royal Collection and is one of the major art collections in the world, it is neither an art gallery nor a museum.
