Buckingham Palace
The official London residence of the British monarch/Everyday Places
Buckingham Palace started life as a large townhouse built in 1703 and has been progressively expanded into the 775-room behemoth it is today. It has 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. The building serves as both the administrative headquarters of the monarch and a venue for state occasions. The Changing of the Guard ceremony out front attracts about 15 million tourists per year who all take the same photograph.
