About Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the British monarch's official residence and also serves as the monarch's administrative base, in the City of Westminster, London, England. State occasions and royal hospitality often center on it, and the British people have turned to it in times of national celebration and mourning. The core of today's palace began as Buckingham House, a large townhouse built in 1703 to William Winde's design for John Sheffield, who went on to be Duke of Buckingham and Normanby.
George III bought the house in 1761 as a private home for Queen Charlotte, and it was then called The Queen's House. John Nash and Edward Blore, both architects, enlarged it in the early 19th century, adding three wings around a central courtyard. It became the monarch's London residence when Queen Victoria came to the throne in June 1837. The final big structural additions came in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The East Front, which faces The Mall, contains the balcony where the royal family traditionally comes out to greet the crowds.
During the Second World War the palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb. The King's Gallery took its place and opened in 1962 to show art from the Royal Collection. Its garden is the biggest private garden in London, and the palace has 775 rooms. Visitors can tour the state rooms through most of the summer, and on chosen days in winter and spring.
