Buckingham Palace
The official principal residence of the monarch since 1837, Buckingham Palace is one of the most recognizable buildings in the universe. Aside from serving as the home of the Queen and Prince Phillip, the palace is truly a working building. Almost 500 people who work for the monarchy refer to it as "the office."
But to most tourists, the palace is all about pomp and circumstance, most notably the Changing of the Guard. Royal ceremonies, state visits and investitures are what draw visitors – and drive royal watchers mad.
