Today it serves as the official residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Explore the King's and Queen's State Apartments, admire William Kent's Cupola Room and Grand Staircase, and see The Last Princesses of Punjab exhibition, which runs until 8 November 2026 and is included in your admission.

- How Much Does It Cost to Visit Buckingham Palace in 2026?
The only bookable part of Buckingham Palace is the State Rooms, open in summer only, from £33 per adult. The Changing of the Guard outside the gates is completely free, so you can experience the Palace for nothing if you are happy to watch from the railings.
- Is The Shard Worth It, or Should You Do the Free Sky Garden?
If you want the single highest open-air view in London and the Shard itself is not in your photos, pay the £24 for The Shard. If you want a genuinely good free view with the Shard included in the skyline, book the Sky Garden instead. Doing both is the honest ideal, because they show you two different Londons.
- Is the London Pass Worth It in 2026? Do the Maths First
A sightseeing pass like the London Pass is only worth it if you visit roughly three or more paid attractions per day and pick expensive ones. If you plan a slower trip, lean on free museums, or only want two or three big sights, buying individual tickets almost always costs less. The pass rewards fast, attraction-heavy sightseeing, and punishes a relaxed pace.
