Buckingham Palace is the offical London home of the Queen and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. It is also used for administrative work for the monarchy, one of the few working royal palaces remaining in the world today. The state apartments are used when Her Majesty receives and entertains guests invited to the Palace.
During the summer, visitors can tour the nineteen State Rooms, which form the heart of the Palace, with pre booked, timed tickets. These magnificent rooms are decorated with some of the greatest treasures from the royal collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Canaletto and sculptures by Canova.
