There are three air-conditioning units working in the space, two of which can be felt on the visitor route. The flooring is decking and squeaks in many places.
With its 760 windows and over 1500 doors, Buckingham Palace has access to a lot of natural airflow. With that mild temperature that Britain provides, leaving windows open can supply much of that missing cool air that an AC unit would normally push through a home.
No, Buckingham Palace does not have air conditioning.
A.k.a it appears that the Queen herself uses a Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Air Purifier to cool down Buckingham Palace in the summer. And we don't blame her—after hours of testing different air purifiers, our experts gave high marks to the Dyson appliance, too.
Buckingham Palace is cooled using a combination of state-of-the-art air conditioning and a traditional cooling system known as a 'sump system'. The sump system works by pumping cool air up from underground wells that are located around the outside of the Palace.
The Buckingham Palace swimming pool has royal rules.
The pool isn't just for members of the royal family—staff can use the pool as well.
For centuries, the Palace of Westminster was the primary residence of the monarch, rather than today's Buckingham Palace, according to BBC. But the last monarch to sleep over at the Palace of Westminster prior to his coronation was George IV in 1821.
Yes, I rang the Palace & the balcony rooms do have air con and ensuite.
There is no formal dress code required to enter the Palace. Toilets and baby-care facilities are located in the garden, this is at the end of the route through the Palace.

Before installing your commercial air conditioning system, you may need planning permission. Planning permission is the process of getting approval from the local government for work done on your building. Whether your property needs planning permission depends on the location and size of the air conditioning units.
The Elizabeth Line and London Overground trains are fully air-conditioned, as are the Trams, the 'Central Core' section of Thameslink and the Northern City Line (stretching the definition of a Tube map here, but we'll roll with it).
In a building with nearly 800 rooms, it's not surprising that there are miles of hot and cold water pipes – over 30 miles of pipe needs replacing.
There's a Dress Code
Naturally, the royals dress up more than the average family. Most dinners are formal affairs, meaning that women wear dresses and stockings, and men wear trousers and coats.
Queen Elizabeth never wears the same outfit twice at important events. Therefore, the sovereign prefers to either change her outfits and if she gets bored of them, she sends them to her dressers, who are then allowed to either wear them themselves or sell them.
Members of the royal family are expected to dress modestly and never overtly casual. (Serious question: Can you imagine a life without sweatpants?) That doesn't mean that they can't have some fun, though.
At Buckingham Palace, heating and hot water is produced by the Combined Heat and Power plant and boilers, with flat plate heat exchangers increasing the efficiency of heat transfer.
Reportedly, there are a whopping 52 bedrooms inside Balmoral, alongside plenty of reception rooms and a swimming pool. The swimming pool was constructed in 1939 as a surprise for princesses. At about 50,000 acres, Balmoral is so large, that it's almost its own ecosystem.
Very beautiful church with magnificent architecture, monuments, and art work. Air-conditioned.
The monarch isn't a fan of a deep bath either, she is said to bathe in “no more than seven inches of water”, according to royal author Brian Hoey for the Daily Mail. Seven inches is equivalent to 17.8 centimetres.
As an old tradition dictates, royal couples never share the same bed or bedroom, allowing them to move freely while asleep. It allows them much needed alone time after hours of being in the limelight.
The palace, like Windsor Castle, is owned by the reigning monarch in right of the Crown. Occupied royal palaces are not part of the Crown Estate, nor are they the monarch's personal property, unlike Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle.
