Buckingham Palace - The State Rooms

Step inside and exlpore the magnificent State Rooms at Buckingham Palace. These grand rooms are still used for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining and are furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection. Highlights include the White Drawing Room where members of the Royal Family gather before official occasions and The Throne Room, used by The King for official court ceremonies.

The State Rooms are the public rooms in the Palace where The King and members of the Royal Family receive and entertain their guests on State, ceremonial and official occasions. There are 19 State Rooms, which mainly reflect the taste of George IV, who commissioned the architect John Nash to transform Buckingham House into a grand palace in 1825.

The State Rooms are furnished with many of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Van Dyck and Canaletto, sculpture by Canova, Sèvres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world. Many of the State Rooms have particular uses today. The Throne Room is used by The King for court ceremonies and official entertaining, and was the setting for the wedding photos of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The White Drawing Room, perhaps the grandest of all the State Rooms, serves as a royal reception room for The King and members of the Royal Family to gather before official occasions.
