Buckingham Palace's East Wing Open to the Public for the First Time!

Published 2024-04-04
For the first time, the public can now experience the view from the royals' perspective as the East Wing of the palace opens to visitors.

Guided tours will include the Centre Room of the palace, which leads to the balcony.

While visitors won't access the balcony itself, they can peek through the net curtains to catch a glimpse of the view, famously enjoyed by the King and Queen as they wave to the crowds on the Mall.

It follows more than seven years of improvement work to protect the palace from fires and floods.

Small groups of visitors can tour rooms and areas like the Principal Corridor, which stretches along the wing.

    Another great opportunity for what could only be an amazing tour. King Charles is very enterprising and business savvy, and this is a win-win for both the public and the public purse. Well done your Majesty. God Save the King 💖👑💖
  • The Royal Family giving access to their own properties (Balmoral) and those owned by the State. Makes perfect sense. A sensible reaction to the need for the monarchy to reflect its status and importance in life. I'm all for it. Ahead of the curve.

    Exciting news. By the way, the Corridor is spelled Principle, which describes it. Principal is a noun. Retired teacher here .😊
  • Prayers and Blessings onto All Of You.... For Healing and Health in all forms❣️🤗🥰~

    Its great that people will now get to see more on the Tour, which will come at a cost but its memory, I remember when i visited few years ago for interview i saw a lot of the inside. the view from inside looking out is ideal
