Buckingham Palace was built as a town house by the Duke of Buckingham in 1702 and sold to King George III in 1761. Remodelling of the rear of the palace by Nash in 1820, virtually doubled the size of the palace to its current 750+ rooms. However, the front facade has remained almost unchanged for over 300 years. Buckingham Palace has been used as the London Royal Residence since it was first occupied by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1837.

∙ 13y agoIt was originally built in 1705 but there have been many changes and additions since then. It was renamed Buckingham Palace when George III occupied it in 1761.
The current facade dates from 1913 and the only change since then was necessitated by the bombing of the chapel during World War II, The Queens Gallery is now on the site of the old chapel.
