earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones in south west

Buckingham Palace is the London residence and principal workplace of the reigning
monarch of the United Kingdom. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at
the centre of state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British
people at times of national rejoicing. Originally known as Buckingham House, the building
which forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of
Buckingham in 1703 on a site which had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It
was subsequently acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen
Charlotte and was known as "The Queen's House"
 10. Westminster abbey

Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at

Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster,
London, located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the
most notable religious buildings in the United Kingdom and has been the
traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British
monarchs. Between 1540 and 1556 the abbey had the status of a cathedral. Since
1560, however, the building is no longer an abbey nor a cathedral, having instead
the status of a Church of England "Royal Peculiar"—a church responsible directly
to the sovereign. The building itself is the original abbey church.
