The Royal Residence

Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence
of Britain's sovereigns since 1837.

It evolved from a town house that was owned from the beginning
of the eighteenth century by the Dukes of Buckingham. Today it
is The Queen's official residence, with 775 rooms.

Although in use for the many official events and receptions held
by The Queen, areas of Buckingham Palace are opened to
visitors on a regular basis.
