what is the bow room in buckingham palace?
directly underneath the state apartments
directly underneath the state apartments are the less grand semi-state apartments. opening from the marble hall, these rooms are used for less formal entertaining, such as luncheon parties and private audiences. some of the rooms are named and decorated for particular visitors, such as the "1844 room", decorated in that year for the state visit of tsar nicholas i of russia, and the "1855 room", in honour of the visit of emperor napoleon iii of france. at the centre of this suite is the bow room, through which thousands of guests pass annually to the queen's garden parties. the queen and prince philip use a smaller suite of rooms in the north wing.

the guests take tea and sandwiches in marquees erected in the garden. as a military band plays the national anthem, the queen emerges from the bow room and slowly processes through the ranks of assembled guests towards her own private tea tent, greeting those previously selected for the honour.
