白金汉宫  Buckingham Palace

白金汉宫(Buckingham Palace）英国的王宫。建造在威斯敏斯特城内，位于伦敦詹姆士公园（St. James’ Park）的西边，1703年为白金汉公爵所建而得名，最早称白金汉屋，意思是“他人的家”。这是19世纪前期的豪华式建筑风格，庞大的规模甚至比华丽的外表更加引人注目。

1761年，乔治三世购得并加以扩建。在此之前曾一度做过帝国纪念堂、美术陈列馆、办公厅和藏金库。由白金汉屋转变为白金汉宫的工作由乔治四世和他所器重的建筑师约翰·纳什（John Nash）完成。其中维多利亚女王像上的金色天使，代表皇室希望能再创造维多利亚时代的光辉，若皇宫正上方飘扬着英国皇帝旗帜，则表示女王仍在宫中。

Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch.

Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by The Queen, the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.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.

The Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of Britain's constitutional monarchy. It houses the offices of those who support the day-to-day activities and duties of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh and their immediate family.
