Having lived in London for three years, I am well-versed in various attractions and can help avoid common tourist pitfalls. I also collaborate with drivers and museum guides. Before leaving London, visiting Buckingham Palace is a must. Buckingham Palace, the official residence and main office of the British monarchy, is located in Westminster, Greater London. Built in 1703 for the Duke of Buckingham, it opens to tourists during the summer when the Queen is away in Scotland. 💂Buckingham Palace 🎫 Tickets: Adults £30; Youth (19-24) £21.5; Children (5-17) £18; Under 5 free (advance booking required on the official website as same-day tickets are rarely available at the gate) ⚠️ Tip: After your visit, get your ticket stamped at the ticket office to convert it into an annual pass for unlimited visits within a year. 📅 Open Dates: For summer 2023, it is open from Friday, July 14 to Sunday, September 24. 🚇 Transportation: 🔹 Take the London Underground Jubilee, Piccadilly, or Victoria lines to Green Park station, then walk 8 minutes. 🔹 Take the Circle or District lines to St James's Park station, then walk 8 minutes.
