Entrance to the Queen's Gallery, a public art gallery at Buckingham Palace in London popular with tourists.

Royalty on the doorstep

The Queen’s Gallery, displaying many of the best works of art from the Royal Family’s personal collection, is a two-minute walk away. Keep going another few yards and you are standing directly in front of the Palace itself. From here you can watch the magnificent spectacle of Changing the Guard. In the summer months you can also take a tour of the Palace’s breathtaking State Rooms.

Popular attractions

Within easy walking distance from the Palace, wander down the tree-lined Mall, with lovely St James’s Park on your right and St James’s Palace on your left, and you soon pass through the magnificent Admiralty Arch and into Trafalgar Square. Turning right takes you down Whitehall, past the Royal Banqueting Hall, the Cenotaph, Downing Street and many of London’s most important government buildings.

London eye

Wander past the Palace

After only a few hundred yards the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye appear on your left, while directly ahead is Westminster Abbey, where Prince William and Kate Middleton were married. Turn right again to enjoy a pleasant stroll along Birdcage Walk. Following the edge of St James’s Park you are back at Buckingham Palace. Head across Green Park and visit Apsley House, splendid home of the great Duke of Wellington.
