Map)
Buckingham Palace is the London residence of the Queen and the Duke of
Edinburgh and has a staff of about 300.
The original Buckingham Palace was converted by John Nash into a palace
for George IV. However, Queen Victoria was the first monarch to live there
as George and his brother William IV died before the work was completed.
The East Front, facing the Mall, was added
in 1913.
During the summer the guard is changed every day.
