Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch.
The Georgian original interior was consisting of brilliant stuccoes with inlays of blue and pink. Edward VII re-decorated the palace adding a decoration of the type Belle époque in tones cremates and gilded. Some lounges of receipt are decorated in Chinese style by furniture from the royal pavilion of Brighton and Carlton house. The gardens of the palace constitute the biggest private gardens of London. They were created originally by Capability Brown, but re-designed by William Townsend Aiton and John Nash. The artificial lake was created in 1828 and it receives water of the Lake Serpentine, the lake that you can see in the Hyde Park.
Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. These include 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. In measurements, the building is 108 metres long across the front, 120 metres deep (including the central quadrangle) and 24 metres high.
When the Queen is in the palace, the British flag (the Union Jack)is flying, but when she's not there, there's no flag!!
