It took me 30 years after my first visit to tour the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace.If you're in London during their opening season (generally late July-end of September) it's well worth your time. An audio guide is included and a special exhibition is part of the tour. (In 2016 The Queen's wardrobe was featured, in 2017 Royal Gifts are displayed.) After the conclusion of the interior tour you get to enjoy a long walk through the gardens to the exit. If the weather is nice you'd be hard pressed to find a better stroll. The exit is at the far end of the gardens, just down from Hyde Park Corner. They have just opened for this year and will remain open until October 1.

If at all possible I cannot over-emphasize the convenience you'll enjoy by pre-booking your tickets. For all intents and purposes it reduces your queuing time to mere minutes, while others will be waiting for well over thirty minutes, if not an hour or more at peak times.
