Buckingham Palace is a small town with its own police station, two post offices, a hospital, a bar, 2 sports clubs, a disco, a cinema and a swimming pool. There are about 600 in the palace. The staff of this town is about 700 people.
The cost of building Buckingham Palace reached pounds using such luxuries as 500 blocks of veined Carrara marble. By 1853, the most spacious and richly decorated room of the palace, the ballroom, was completed. King Edward VII was born in this palace in 1841 and died here in 1910.
Despite the luxury of the palace apartments, where many family treasures are kept, not everyone who lived there was happy. In his memoirs, the Duke of Windsor wrote that the huge palace “with its great halls and endless corridors seemed filled with a musty smell, which I still smell every time I enter it.”
The palace houses the queen's art collection with works by Rembrandt, Rubens and others. The collection also contains French Sèvres porcelain, French and English furniture. The palace has a swimming pool, post office, and its own cinema. For two summer months (August and September), the Queen leaves Buckingham Palace.

Buckingham Palace
Castle. Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of British monarchs (currently Queen Elizabeth II). Located opposite Pall Mall and Green Park with the white marble and gilded monument to Queen Victoria. When the monarch is in the palace, the royal standard flies above the roof of the palace.
Story. Buckingham Palace was originally known as Buckingham House and was built for the Duke of Buckingham (from 1703). It was purchased by King George III in 1762 as the future private residence of the monarch (the official residence of St. James's Palace no longer suited him in both size and decoration). Over the next 75 years, architects John Nash and Edward Blore (author of the Alupka Palace), using Buckingham House as a basis, built three more similar buildings. All together form a square in plan, in the center of which is a large courtyard.
Story. By 1853, the most spacious and richly decorated room of the palace was completed - the ballroom, which is 36 meters long and 18 meters wide. It was built at the behest of Queen Victoria and was first used in 1856 for a reception to mark the end of the Crimean War. Victoria's son and heir, Edward VII, was born in 1841 in this palace and died here in 1910.
Interiors and features. The original Georgian interior included faux marble and blue and pink lapis. King Edward VII heavily remodeled it in the French Belle Époque style with cream and gold tones. Many of the small reception rooms were furnished in Chinese style with furniture from the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and Carlton House.
Interior. Currently, the palace includes 775 rooms. Of these, 19 are state rooms, 52 royal and guest rooms, 188 staff rooms, 92 offices, 72 bathrooms. It occupies an area of 20 hectares, of which 17 hectares are gardens. Buckingham Palace Gardens - the largest private gardens in London, were originally laid out by the great Lancelot Brown, but later redesigned by William Ailton and John Nash. The large artificial pond was completed in 1828
Peculiarities. The palace houses the queen's art collection with works by Rembrandt, Rubens and others. The collection also contains French Sèvres porcelain, French and English furniture. The palace has a swimming pool, post office, and its own cinema. The Queen leaves Buckingham Palace for two months (August and September). During these months, the palace's state rooms are open to visitors.
Tourism. The palace is guarded by the Court Division, consisting of a regiment of Guards Infantry and the Royal Horse Guards. Every day at 11:30 from April to August (every other day in other months) the changing of the guard ceremony takes place. This is perhaps the most famous ceremony in London; it attracts many tourists. During the summer, the palace is visited by approximately 30,000 guests, who take part in receptions in the royal gardens, which contain a lake and waterfalls. The picture of natural nature is complemented by flamingo birds, whose peace is not disturbed even by royal helicopters circling over the garden.
Sight. We also recommend taking a look at the ancient royal stables, which appeared thanks to John Nash in the early 19th century. In the so-called stables there is now a famous carriage museum, the collection of which is truly unique of its kind. But still, the main attraction of Buckingham Palace can be called the exciting ceremony of changing the guards of the royal guards. Today it is one of the oldest English traditions known to mankind.
Castle. In addition, on a certain day for 200 years, this solemn ceremony is complemented by the carrying out of state standards by the Queen's personal guard. This significant event takes place, of course, on a difficult day, and the only time a year is on the birthday of the reigning monarch. Note: 8-day tour to London – from 1000 euros. Buckingham Palace is open to visitors only in the absence of the Queen, entrance ticket is 14 euros.
