Special Timed Entry to Buckingham Palace with Multimedia Tour
Visit the official London residence of King Charles III with a special timed entry into the Royal Palace’s magnificent State Rooms. Open for just ten weeks a year, this is an incredible opportunity you won’t want to miss!
With a multimedia guide included in your visit, you’ll explore the 19 beautifully decorated rooms used by The King for State, ceremonial and official occasions. Discover sculptures, the finest furniture and the incredible 47-metre Picture Gallery. See the grandest of all the rooms, the White Drawing Room, which serves as a royal reception room, and the Throne Room, featuring the throne chairs used for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation ceremony in 1953. This unique palace tour ends with a walk through the picturesque south garden before visitors are to make their own way to Victoria for the Stonehenge portion of the tour, where the coach will depart at 1.45pm.
Stonehenge
Standing on Salisbury Plain since around 2500BC, the existence of this ancient stone circle at Stonehenge remains a mystery to this day! On your visit, discover the abundance of fascinating theories behind this prehistoric monument, from the belief it is a religious temple to an astronomical clock and even a Bronze Age burial ground!
As you explore, look out for Stone 56, the tallest of the stones and Stone 52, which has the name Wren carved into it. This was done by Sir Christopher Wren, the renowned architect who designed St Paul’s Cathedral!
Before you leave, make sure to check out the Neolithic Houses by the visitor and exhibition centre. They’re closely modelled on the remains discovered in 2006 and 2007 near Stonehenge and were built around the same time as the stones.
This tour finishes at approximately between 6:30pm and 7:30pm in Kensington.
This tour is unescorted.
