More Info
Buckingham Palace is the London residence and administrative headquarters of the Monarch of the United Kingdom.
Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focal point for the British People at times of national rejoicing and mourning.
Originally known as "Buckingham House", the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years.
It was acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, who constructed three wings around a central courtyard.
Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.

More Info
Crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, it depicts the Angel of Peace descending on the 'Quadriga' - or four-horsed chariot - of War.
Both the Wellington Arch and Marble Arch, which was originally in front of Buckingham Palace, were planned in 1825 by George IV to commemorate Britain's victories in the Napoleonic Wars.
The Wellington Arch was also conceived as an outer gateway to Constitution Hill and therefore a grand entrance into central London from the west. The presence of a turnpike gate at this point had led, in the 18th century, to a strong perception that this was the beginning of London and the arch was intended to reflect the importance of the position.

Building of the palace began in 1515 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII.
In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the Cardinal gifted the palace to the King to check his disgrace; Henry VIII later enlarged the palace. Along with St.James' Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII.
In the following century, King William III's extensive rebuilding and expansion work, which was intended to rival The Castle of Versailles, destroyed much of the Tudor palace
Work ceased in 1694, leaving the palace in two distinct contrasting architectural styles, domestic Tudor and Baroque.
While the palace's styles are an accident of fate, a unity exists due to the use of pink bricks and a symmetrical, if vague, balancing of successive low wings. King George II was the last monarch to reside in the palace.

Between 1767 and 1775 John Wood the Younger, designed the great curved façade with Ionic Columns on a rusticated ground floor.
Each original purchaser bought a length of the façade, and then employed their own architect to build a house behind the façade to their own specifications; hence what can appear to be two houses is occasionally just one.
This system of town planning is betrayed at the rear and can be seen from the road behind the Crescent: while the front is uniform and symmetrical, the rear is a mixture of differing roof heights.
This architecture, described as "Queen Anne fronts and Mary-Anne backs", occurs repeatedly in Bath. It was the first crescent of terraced houses to be built and an example of "rus in urbe" (the country in the city) with its views over the parkland opposite.
