Hi Hotstar,

I have not been to Buckingham palace but I've found a website that gives the cost of tickets, length of tour and some further information. I imagine you would have to book early. I've no idea about the length of queues  but I think it would be popular. I'd love to see it some day!

"The State Rooms form the heart of the working palace and are lavishly furnished with some of the finest treasures from the Royal Collection - paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin, Canaletto; sculpture by Canova; exquisite examples of Sèvres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world.

The Palace's 39-acre garden is an oasis for wildlife, and visitors can enjoy a garden walk that offers superb views of the Garden Front of the Palace and the 19th-century lake.

For the first time ever, visitors will be able to experience the spectacle of the Palace’s Ballroom set up for a State Banquet."

Tickets are £15.50 for adults and £8.75 for children.

The tour lasts approx. 2 hours. Palace tour available from 29th July to 29th September 2008 (excluding Sundays & Bank Hols).

Enjoy your day out!
