Buckingham Palace tour and afternoon tea

Combine two London must-do activities with a Buckingham Palace tour and afternoon tea this summer.

Feel like royalty as you wander the grand and iconic 19 State Rooms in Buckingham Palace, the official residence of King Charles III.

End the day with afternoon tea, the ultimate British tradition, delighting your senses with delicious savoury treats and sweet freshly baked goods.

Visit Buckingham Palace

Start the day with a tour of Buckingham Palace, the iconic royal residence and the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household.

Explore the 19 State Rooms, each exquisitely decorated and filled with many historical artefacts and treasures.

See this year’s special exhibition, The King's Tour Artists exhibition, featuring more than 70 works of art from His Majesty's own collection, many on public display for the first time. End the tour with a walk along the south side of the palace's gardens, from which you can see the lake.

What is included in the afternoon tea after the Buckingham Palace tour?

After your visit to Buckingham Palace, make your way to The Wellington Hotel to enjoy a traditional afternoon tea experience.

Indulge in a range of finger sandwiches, warm scones with seasonal jams, pastries and fine teas.

Alternatively, if you’re not quite done exploring, hop aboard a panoramic afternoon tea tour bus to tick off even more iconic London sights. Greeted by a glass of prosecco, indulge in delightful sweet and savoury treats as you bus your way around London.
