Buckingham Palace is the Queen's official residence and offices. It is built on James I's former mulberry garden, and to this day some of the original mulberry trees are still growing there. With its 775 rooms, including 19 State rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms, Buckingham Palace is the largest royal palace in Great Britain. The 17 hectare Buckingham Palace Garden is the largest private garden in London.  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.
