Overview
Take a trip to Buckingham Palace on your England Vacation
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of King Charles III and has served as the administrative headquarters of British monarchs since 1837. The upkeep of the palace, which was bombed nine times during the Second World War, is funded by taxpayers.
There's much to see inside the palace and in the palace grounds. It includes the Queen's Gallery, one of the world's finest private art collections, housing over 7,000 paintings. The splendorous Throne Room may be familiar to those who have seen formal wedding photographs of Britain's royals. Its silk throne chairs were used for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953. Clarence House, the home of senior British royals, is just behind the palace. The palace gardens are open to the public, and you can enjoy a picnic on the gardens' lawns. The historic and magnificent state coaches and carriages in the Royal Mews are unmissable inclusions on a Buckingham Palace tour. While you can tour the palace on your own, a guided tour is the better way to learn about its history and the life of monarchs. A ticket to the palace includes a tour of its interiors and the area around it.

What do the experts say?
A traditional British high tea is a must do in my option. If traditional isnt your cup of tea there are a seemingly endless amount of themed teas including but not limited to Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Bridgerton and Wizard themed.
I love the history of England. There is so much to see and experience not only in regards to history but art and architecture, natural beauty and so much more. It is a very easy country to get around and also very easy to use it as a jumping off point for visiting the rest of Europe.
Late spring to early fall for the best chance of nice weather or during Christmas. London is magical at Christmas time.
The English are actually proud of their cuisine (mostly stereotyped as bland). Afternoon Tea, A full English Breakfast, a Chippy Stand, traditional Sunday roast - all must tries!
