England is world-renowned for its monarchy and the massive range of amazing royal sites that come with it. After celebrating the Queen\u2019s unofficial birthday this weekend, what better way to start the week than taking a look at the best places to visit if you want to bring out your inner prince or princess?<\/p>

Buckingham Palace<\/b><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t get much more royal than the Queen\u2019s official residence. This has been the home of British sovereignty since 1837. Much of the palace is closed for the Queen\u2019s official business, but you can take a peek at the State Rooms during the last week of July\/first week of August and the month of September. But just looking at the magnificent building from the outside is enough for most visitors.<\/p>\n

With 775 rooms, you\u2019d think the Queen could spare one for your family for the night, but as that\u2019s unlikely to happen, you can grab an affordable room at one of our Central London hotels<\/span><\/a>. A stay in Covent Garden puts you right in the thick of it with loads of shops, restaurants, museums and art galleries within easy reach.<\/p>

Hampton Court<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a hugely popular day trip for anyone coming to London. You get much greater access to Henry VIII\u2019s favourite palace than you do to most royal residences. There\u2019s a huge list of palace highlights to keep any family entertained:<\/p>\n
