Royal
Attractions in Great Britain
ROYAL
PALACES:
Buckingham
Palace (London)
The principal official
residence of Her Majesty The Queen: as both a home and office.
The Queen's personal standard flies when the Queen is in residence.
Furnished with works of art from the Royal Collection, the buildings
are used extensively by the Queen for state ceremonies and official
entertaining. Public opening is as much as such commitments allow
and, it has to be said, might not always be available! (Don't
expect to penetrate too far within the Palace and grounds, or
to bump into the Queen or Duke: royalty need their space!)
Visitors may also see the Royal Mews, one
of the finest working stables in the world. This is where the
Queen's magnificent state carriages and coaches are housed, together
with their horses and state liveries.
Windsor Castle (Berkshire)
An official residence of Her Majesty The Queen
- when she gets bored with Buckingham Palace and wants somewhere
a little more cozy! The Queen's personal standard flies when the
Queen is in residence.
A significant
portion of the castle is opened to visitors on a regular basis,
including the Upper and Lower Wards, the North Terrace, Queen
Mary's Dolls House, and the State Apartments including St. George's
Hall, the Crimson Drawing Room and other rooms newly restored
after the devastating fire. Like Buckingham Palace, you can see
the Changing of the Guard (here at 11 am daily from April to the
end of June, and on alternate days at other times of year). |

HISTORIC
ROYAL PALACES:
The Tower of London (London)
William
the Conqueror began building the Tower of London in 1078. It was
originally designed to be a royal residence, but over the subsequent
900 years it was used variously as a royal fortress, mint, armoury
and, more infamously, as a prison and the place of some famous
executions. To stay here happily you had to keep your head! Visit
the White Tower, - the original Tower of London - to see
the Block and Axe, Tudor arms and armour, and the Instruments
of Torture. Inside, the Yeoman Warder 'Beefeaters' give free guided
tours and recount all the grisly details. Residents who lost their
heads here include two of Henry VIII's wives - who were conveniently
laid to rest in the nearby chapel. Visit to breath in some history
- but behave yourself!
For the
last 600 years the Tower has housed the Crown Jewels. These can
be seen in the magnificent new Jewel House, and are still used
by Her Majesty The Queen for ceremonies such as the State Opening
of Parliament. |
HISTORIC
ROYAL PALACES
This site covers:
- The Tower of London
- The Banqueting House
- Kew Palace
- Hampton Court Palace
- Kensington Palace
This similarly regal site also provides good
coverage and detail. This has a slightly different approach with
pictures a more reasonable size in the first place. Slightly curious
are pictures we feel we would like to click, with legends beneath
them telling us to click elsewhere. Strange - and the only reason
this drops the award from Platinum to Gold! |
