Today,of the palace’s 660 rooms you’re permitted to see just 18, and there’s little sign of life,as the Queen decamps to Scotland every summer . You can view a small selection of the RoyalCollection-which is more than three times larger than the National Gallery’s at the Queen’s Picture Gallery,round of the south side of the palace on Buckingham Palace Road. And then you can see the Royal Army of Buckingham Palace hold the relieve guard ceremony at 11:30 from April to September ,which is so wonderful that attract visitors fromall over the world.●Houses of Parliament and Big BenHouses of Parliament first named West Minister Palace.The palace was nearly burnt to ground in a big fire in 1834 ,then ,it was rebuilt and destroyed by Charles as what it looks today,splendid and fantastic .And its Clock Tower , also familiar to tourists , named Big Ben,standing by the River Thames ,when there’s a meeting in the Palace ,the surface of Big Ben will be shining and every an hour it will strike once .
