Members of the Club are warmly invited to experience a memorable visit to Buckingham Palace, combining a self-guided tour of the magnificent State Rooms with an exclusive Garden Highlights Tour led by one of the Palace’s expert Wardens. Often described as “a walled oasis in the middle of London,” the Palace Garden offers particular interest to those with an appreciation for landscape and cultivation, featuring more than 350 varieties of wildflowers, over 200 trees and a three-acre lake. Highlights include the striking Herbaceous Border, the Rose Garden, the summer house, the impressive Waterloo Vase and even the historic Palace tennis court where King George VI and Fred Perry once played. Following the State Rooms, members may enjoy panoramic views across the lawn from the Garden Café before joining the 45-minute guided walking tour.

After our outing to Buckingham Palace, we shall return to the Club for a Two Course Dinner with wine to reflect on the experiences of the day.
