Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by the Queen, the State Rooms and Garden at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors during the summer months.

I made the Buckingham Palace the first hop in London hoping to spot a royal or two :P. But all I could see were the guards from far.
Don’t miss the gardens around the palace. They are beautiful and perfectly manicured.
The "Changing The Guard" performance is once a day so plan your visit accordingly.
After a filling breakfast we set out on our all day walking tour of London.
Our first stop was Buckingham Palace. Crowded with tourists it’s difficult to get a close up picture, but it’s still an incredible site.
Had to visit Grandma 👵🏻 ! She wasn’t home 😢
