The State Rooms, Buckingham Palace

While you're waiting for your official state visit invitation from Her Majesty The Queen, sneak a peek at her snazzy abode with a tour of The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace. Feel like a freelance dignitary as you wander the royal halls and explore 19 magnificent palace rooms, before enjoying a spot of tea overlooking the lavish gardens. Spiffing!
Follow the elegant bronze balustrade up the Grand Staircase and enter the supremely elegant White Drawing Room for a taste of palatial Feng Shui.
The White Drawing Room is perhaps the most stately of all The State Rooms, and serves as a royal reception room for The Queen and members of the Royal Family to gather before official occasions.
Stride regally around the dramatic Throne Room, and take some time to enjoy the masterpieces by Rembrandt, Titian and Rubens in the Picture Gallery. The beautiful decor and sheer grandeur of The Ballroom may even conjure images of singing dancing crockery!
Crown off the tour in the most classically British manner: with some hot tea and light refreshments in the Garden Café overlooking the serene lawns and flower gardens.
