Buckingham Palace Tour and Afternoon Tea
About
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 Queen’s Accession, celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee year and end the tour with a walk along the south side of the palace’s gardens, from which you can see the lake.
Enjoy afternoon tea
Next, it's time to indulge in afternoon tea. 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. You will have to make your own way to The Wellington Hotel after the tour. If choosing this option, select 10.45am or 12.30pm as departure time. The tea will be served at The Wellington Hotel between 2.30pm and 4pm.
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.
