How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A restricted area guarded by both the Royal Guard and Albion. At night the palace front carries Albion's KEEPING YOU SAFE slogan, and flowers and candles pile up outside the gates.
The real place
Buckingham Palace has been the London home of British monarchs since Queen Victoria moved in in 1837. The east front facing the Mall, the one you see from the gates, was refaced in Portland stone in 1913.
Visiting
Watch the Changing of the Guard from the Victoria Memorial in front of the gates; check the schedule first, as it doesn't happen every day. The State Rooms are open to visitors for a few weeks each summer.
Buckingham Palace is also in Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Fallout: London. See all 3 games side by side
