Journey through history at The King's Gallery, located next to Buckingham Palace where Queen Victoria's private chapel once stood.
Destroyed in a 1940 air raid, this space was transformed into an art gallery in 1962 at the suggestion of Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh. Following expansion and modernisation in 1997, The Queen's Gallery reopened in May 2002 with a grand unveiling by Queen Elizabeth II herself.
Today, this gallery now called The King's Gallery, features changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection. Exhibitions this year are Holbein at Tudor Court running until 14th April, and Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography: 17th May - 6th October 2024.
After your visit, take a leisurely stroll down The Mall to The Royal Horseguards Hotel to enjoy your delicious afternoon tea with a glass of bubbly.
