Line 806:

:Why not buy a ticket to Buckingham palace at the [http://www.the-royal-collection.com/royaltickets/default.asp official Royal Collection site] and for the Tower of London try calling [phone] (British dialing code is 44) [[User:Superm401|Superm401]] | [[User_talk:Superm401|Talk]] 21:13, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

::Ye gods, it's years since we had 0171 numbers! That number maps to [phone] since London now has 8-digit local numbers. Buckingham Palace is only open in the summer when the Queen's away on holiday (only in August if I recall). The only other way in (other than hang-gliding or climbing the walls, which usually results in a quick exit) is to get invited to a Royal Garden Party, as I did in 1997 - no, I've no idea how you get invited, the invitation from the Lord Chancellor's Office just came in the post one Saturday morning.... -- [[User:Arwel Parry|Arwel]] 13:09, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

:::If you are a citizen of a [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] country, contact your High Commission. I believe that they may be able to help get an invite to a Royal Garden Party. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] 13:26, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
