The State Rooms and Garden Highlights Tour for Groups

Enjoy a summer’s day out at Buckingham Palace and combine a visit to the State Rooms with a guided walking tour in English of the famous Palace garden. The Garden Highlights Tour explains the history of the garden, taking your group to the beautiful Herbaceous Border, the wisteria-clad summer house and Rose Garden, the Waterloo Vase and the Palace tennis court, where King George VI and Fred Perry played in the 1930s.

Between the multimedia tour of the State Rooms and the guided tour of the garden, the itinerary allows time for your group to take in the panoramic views of the lawn and the lake, enjoy tea and cakes from the Garden Café and to visit the Garden Shop.

Please note, The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace operates a timed-admission system. The admission time you select will be for your State Rooms entry. You will tour the State Rooms with a complimentary multimedia guide.

Your Garden Highlights Tour will start 2 hours and 15 minutes after your State Rooms entry time and will last 45 minutes. Follow signs for the Garden Highlights Tour at the bottom of the steps in to the Garden when you leave the State Rooms and to the right.

You should allow around 3 hours to 3 hours and 30 minutes for the full experience at Buckingham Palace.

Photography is not permitted on the garden tour.
