For the first time in history! Visitors can have a picnic in the back garden of Buckingham Palace.

If it weren't for the COVID-19 epidemic, the income of the British royal family would be greatly reduced, and such a scene would not happen. From July to September, the back garden of Buckingham Palace will be open to the public. Different from the past, this time visitors can bring food, sit on the grass, eat sandwiches and enjoy the royal scenery. . .

You know, Buckingham Palace is usually the queen's residence in London, and this back garden needs a lot of energy to maintain. It takes hours to walk around it. Little Prince George likes some wild animals living here best. Objectively speaking, as a palace, Buckingham Palace itself is not very big or luxurious, because the royal family didn't want to put the palace in the center of London at first. At that time, Buckingham Palace was at best a mansion for the rich. Later, George VI spent a lot of money to buy it. Over time, it became the residence of the royal family in London.

At a fixed time every year, the queen will return to Windsor Castle to live, after all, it is the royal family's home. At this time, Buckingham Palace will be open to the public. Although there is a charge, the fare is not expensive at all. Visitors can visit the first floor along the route after entering from the west gate. You can't go to the room upstairs. Buckingham Palace has a special area to display the gifts given to Britain by various countries. Because the royal family is the highest symbol of the country, these gifts are placed in Buckingham Palace for everyone to visit.

After visiting the interior, you can come out from the north gate and enter the back garden. Although the garden faces north, there are no buildings around it, so the sunshine is very abundant.

Londoners don't like Buckingham Palace very much. Just next to the palace, there are St. James Park and Hyde Park, or Regent Park in the north. These parks are not only free, but also, to be honest, they are much bigger and more beautiful than the back garden of Buckingham Palace.

However, for tourists who come to Britain from afar, Buckingham Palace is well worth a visit. After shopping, spread a blanket and have a nice afternoon tea on the grass. Life is so pleasant.
