As home of the Queen, it attracts millions of tourists every year.

They attend to witness the royal pageantry dating back centuries at the Changing of the Guard ceremony at 11.30am.

The rather drab facade was added in 1913. The State Rooms, including the Throne Room and the Picture Gallery, are only opened to the public in summer.

Opening hours are from 9.30am - 4.15pm
