Buckingham Palace East Wing Opens to Public

Buckingham Palace's East Wing, including the Centre Room with the famous balcony, will be open to the public this summer for the first time, showcasing George IV's oriental art and furniture collection. The room holds historical significance, being used for royal events since the Victorian era. Renovations have restored the East Wing to its former glory, allowing visitors to experience the Chinese-themed decor and iconic views. Ticket holders will have access to the Yellow Drawing Room, featuring 18th-century artifacts, Chinese wallpaper, and a Kylin clock, along with State Rooms and artworks on display. This unique opportunity stems from a five-year renovation project, offering a glimpse into the palace's rich history and cultural influences.
