An important representation of Regency, Victorian, & Edwardian styles, the palace is the work of such noted architects as John Nash.

Starting at the Grand Staircase, Hicks leads us through the opulently decorated State Rooms, which include the White Drawing Room & the Blue Drawing Room that both overlook the palace gardens; the Ballroom, which is the setting for twenty investiture ceremonies each year; & the Throne Room, used by Queen Victoria for spectacular costume balls in the 1840s.
