About Buckingham Palace

The palace sits in the City of Westminster and serves as the official residence and administrative headquarters of the UK's monarch. It hosts state occasions and royal hospitality, and crowds have gathered outside it at moments of national celebration and mourning.

At its heart is Buckingham House, a large townhouse built in 1703 for the Duke of Buckingham and Normanby on land that had been privately owned for at least 150 years. Over time that house grew into the palace recognised around the world today.
