Small Group: Buckingham Palace State Rooms and Royal London Walking Tour
History and pageantry come together during a memorable exploration of London’s royal heart, highlighted by pre-reserved access to Buckingham Palace’s State Rooms. Open for a limited time each year, these lavish interiors reveal how the British monarchy balances ceremonial tradition with private life. An immersive audio guide enhances the visit, bringing spaces such as the White Drawing Room and the Throne Room to life, where coronation history and official receptions unfold.
Before entering the palace, guests enjoy a guided royal walking tour through central London. The route begins in Green Park and continues past Clarence House, long associated with senior members of the Royal Family. The walk proceeds to St. James’s Palace, a cornerstone of royal history for more than three centuries, before following The Mall alongside St. James’s Park. Wellington Barracks and other ceremonial landmarks frame the approach to Buckingham Palace, tracing the path of coronations, jubilees, and state processions.
