Unique features include the iconic White Tower at its center and the ravens that are said to protect both the tower and England itself.

    Buckingham Palace serves as both an official residence for British monarchs and a symbol of national pride. The Changing of the Guard ceremony attracts millions each year, showcasing not only tradition but also Britain's rich history in monarchy. One unique aspect is that it boasts 775 rooms—making it one of the largest working palaces in Europe—and offers limited public access during summer months when Her Majesty is away.

It holds immense significance as one of London's most visited attractions; visitors can explore artifacts such as the Rosetta Stone or Egyptian mummies without any admission fee.
