Go Back to Short Breaks Experiences

Enjoy one of the most regal experiences in London with this unforgettable city escape. This package includes entry to the magnificent Buckingham Palace State Rooms, a delicious meal or afternoon tea at the elegant Royal Horseguards Hotel, and an overnight stay in the heart of the capital – the perfect combination of royal sightseeing and stylish relaxation.
For a limited time each summer, the doors of Buckingham Palace State Rooms open to the public, offering a rare glimpse into the heart of the monarchy. Explore the same rooms used for official occasions and ceremonies, from grand drawing rooms to dazzling chandeliers and priceless artworks. It’s history, tradition and splendour all wrapped into one inspiring visit.
After soaking up the grandeur, continue your day with a spot of indulgence at the five-star Royal Horseguards Hotel. Choose between a classic afternoon tea served with all the trimmings – scones, cakes and freshly brewed tea – or a delicious two-course meal in truly refined surroundings. With vegan and vegetarian options available, there’s something to suit all tastes.
The experience also includes an overnight stay at a London hotel, giving you more time to enjoy the sights, stroll along the Thames or soak up the city buzz.
Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply treating someone to a memorable getaway, this is one of those London city breaks that ticks all the boxes – culture, luxury and a touch of royalty.
This experience is only available between 10th July and 28th September 2025, when the palace opens its doors to the public. Don’t miss your chance to explore royal London in style.
