It’s time to step inside a famous royal residence again, as Buckingham Palace throws open its doors to the public
There’s no denying the thrill of walking up The Mall as Buckingham Palace emerges ahead of you, or watching the centuries-old Changing the Guard ceremony taking place on the other side of the palace gate. If only that pesky gate wasn’t locked all the time. But the doors to Buckingham Palace are now within reach, as everyone can visit the State Rooms at the annual summer opening (from 21 Jul).
This tradition began in 1993 to raise funds for the repair of Windsor Castle, which had been damaged by a fire the previous year. The original plan was for Buckingham Palace to open to the public every summer until 1997, but it proved so popular that it’s now a top tourist attraction.
