St. James's Palace

This stunning Tudor palace has served as the principal London residence of British monarchs since Henry VIII's time and remains the official seat of the Royal Court today. Though much of the palace is reserved for official royal business and private residences, visitors can experience its grandeur through carefully curated summer tours of the State Rooms, where centuries of royal history come alive in ornate chambers and galleries. The palace's location within the elegant St. James's neighborhood places it at the heart of London's royal heritage, surrounded by charming streets perfect for exploration.
