How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Queen Victoria's London palace, seen from the gates across the forecourt.

The real place

In 1868 the palace looked different from today: the east front facing the Mall was refaced in Portland stone in 1913, with the familiar classical facade by Aston Webb. The game shows the older Victorian front.

Visiting

The State Rooms open to visitors in summer. The Changing the Guard takes place in the forecourt on set mornings; check the schedule first.
