The East Wing of Buckingham Palace is opening its doors to the public for the first time.

Visitors will be able to see inside the palace's famous central room, where the royal family gathers before stepping out onto the famous balcony.

Tourists will be able to visit the east wing after more than five years of improvements costing £369 million.

Tours of the East Wing will only last until the end of August, so there are limited opportunities for royal fans and historians to find the time to take a tour.

What is in the east wing of Buckingham Palace?

The east wing of Buckingham Palace was built between 1847-49 to create more space for Queen Victoria's growing family.

When she moved in, days after the death of her uncle William IV, it had never before been used as a monarch's main residence.

The east wing faces The Mall, where crowds gather during major events, including Trooping the Colour.

If you are thinking that even visitors will be able to go out on the balcony, the answer is No.

The balcony door will be closed.

The main rooms of the east wing contain some of the finest items in the Royal Collection - many of which were moved from the Royal Pavilion.
