The most interesting places in London

• The official residence of Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace opens its doors to visitors in the summer months. Originally acquired by King George III for his wife Queen Charlotte, Buckingham House was increasingly known as the 'Queen's House' and 14 of George III's children were born there.

Nash doubled the size of the house with the addition of a new wing in the French neoclassical style favoured by George IV. Marble Arch was also constructed, in celebration of the victories at Trafalgar and Waterloo. However, by 1829 the cost of reconstruction had escalated to nearly half a million pounds and Nash lost his job.
