Buckingham Palace Private ToursTours start at 5pm. One of London’s most iconic buildings, Buckingham Palace became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837, and this private tour is a fantastic opportunity to tour the official residence of Her Majesty The Queen. Guided through the grand State Rooms, used by the Queen for official and ceremonial occasions, you’ll be allowed to view the Palace in all its regal splendor.

There is also 20% discount in the Royal Collection shop and a free guide for each member of your party. London Travel Pack’s offer includes overnight accommodation in the 4* rated Cavendish Hotel, with full English breakfast available. Tours check in at 5pm daily. One of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by Henry VIII, this historic building mixes original Tudor features with the Baroque additions of the later English monarchs.

With 2009 seeing the 500 year anniversary of Henry VIII’s accession to the English throne, this tour includes the new ‘Young Henry’ exhibition, chronicling the early life of this most iconic of monarchs - before the six wives and codpiece - in the rooms he once built and occupied.
