Consequently, any tour in England should include a certain amount of investigation into the history of Queen Victoria.

The Victorian era itself was a tumultuous time, a period of intense change in almost every aspect of life: culturally, politically, industrially, scientifically, and militarily. This period was also notable as a time of great development of the British Empire.

Queen Victoria was the first monarch to reside in Buckingham Palace, which is now one of the most celebrated attractions in London for countless visitors. Today, the Palace serves as the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. Imperious and majestic Buckingham Palace possess an extraordinary 775 rooms.

The Grand Hall is exquisite. If you are given the privilege to walk up the curving marble stairs of the Grand Staircase, portraits are still set in the walls, just as they were in the reign of Queen Victoria.
The Throne Room at times functioned during Queen Victoria's rule as a second dancing room and was also used for Court gatherings. It is dominated by a proscenium arch which is propped up by a pair of winged figures of 'victory' holding garlands above the 'chairs of state'.

Indeed, you simply cannot visit the UK without taking some time to explore inimitable Buckingham Palace, and delve into its fascinating history - from the way it was during the Victorian era to the Palace's hosting of much more recent regal events. In many ways, the Palace has not changed greatly since Victoria's time; this is, no doubt, part of its fascination for many. In other ways, the Palace has acquired yet greater opulence and grandeur in the recent age.
