In a pursuit to create the most accurate floor plan of Buckingham Palace available on the internet, HomeAdvisor embarked on a research project to scour every available photo and video of the palace interiors to uncover the layout of every room. Researchers then collected additional information from the Royal Collection Trust and the official website of the British royal family, before passing all of their findings to architect Jelena Popovic, who created the drawings shown below.

With 775 total rooms, the palace includes 19 staterooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. However, many of the spaces within the palace still remain a mystery with many areas off-limits to everyone except palace staff.

The research team tackled the challenge by dividing the palace into three sections: The Central Block, the Queen's Apartments, and the East Front. Upon entry of the Central Block, visitors see the grand staircase with portraits of the royal family along the surrounding walls. Upstairs is the Music Room, and across the hallway is the Green Drawing room, where the queen regularly meets with the prime minister.

After passing the White Drawing Room, one would approach the 1844 Room where the royal family often meets with important guests, such as President Obama and the former First Lady Michele Obama.

The Queen's Apartments, the second section, is one of the more private areas of the palace. According to HomeAdvisor, of the 775 rooms, the queen regularly uses only six. With limited photographs of this area, the bedroom, private sitting room, dressing room, and bathroom are all off-limits to everyone except the queen and those close to her.

The final section surveyed by the research team is the East Front. Planned for a £369 million renovation, the work began earlier this year. In an Instagram post from the royal family viewers can see a video of work commenced in the Yellow Drawing Room.

After studying these floor plans, the interested reader can move on to a virtual tour of the palace to explore a further emersion of some of the space's more subtle qualities.
