Buckingham Palace State Rooms Summer Opening

Buckingham Palace

9 July 2026 - 27 September 2026

The State Rooms of Buckingham Palace open to the public for their annual summer stretch, throne room, ballroom and grand staircase included, plus the palace gardens beyond. A rare chance to walk halls usually reserved for heads of state, while summer crowds queue at the gate. Book ahead, this run does not last long.
