Have you stopped to smell the flowers today? Give your nostrils the royal treatment with tickets for the Garden at Buckingham Palace – a flower garden fit for a Queen. Described as ‘a walled oasis in the middle of London’, this sprawling green space is the largest private garden in the capital. It even has a special lake island for bees! Walk amongst hundreds of wild plant species, seek shade from over 1,000 trees, and spot the many different birds all tweeting on behalf of Her Majesty. Take a picnic and imagine the garden back in the reign of George III and his consort, Queen Charlotte, who kept a collection of exotic animals here, including an elephant and one of the first zebras seen in England!
