Every wondered how much it would cost to be neighbours with Her Majesty? Well today we reveal exactly how much a house next to Buckingham Palace and Gardens costs.

One of London’s most iconic tourist attractions, and a must-see for visitors and residents alike, Buckingham Palace is a symbol of all things British. So, imagine what it would be like to live next to the Royals – there’s nothing more patriotic than setting up home next to the Queen, is there? But at what price would you be prepared to make the move?

This impressive six bedroom house in Belgravia, right next to Buckingham Palace and Gardens, will set you back £12,900,000.

Yes, that's right – you can be neighbours with the Queen for just under £13 million.

But this will get you six storeys of luxurious living space, including staff accommodation on the lower ground floor, lots of entertaining space for a family, four en suites and a walk-in wardrobe.

And don't forget the lift – yes, this house is so tall it has its own lift, running between the lower ground and second floor.

There’s also a patio, terrace and balcony, as well as Belgravia Square around the corner, so there’s no shortage of options when walking the dog or taking a leisurely stroll through Belgravia on a Sunday morning.

And of course, you’re only moments away from Buckingham Palace and the surrounding royal parks, Green Park and St James’s Park.

Still within walking distance of this outstanding home are the designer shops in Knightsbridge, including Harrods and Harvey Nichols, as well as boutiques and eateries in the Motcomb Street area – Gordon Ramsay’s Petrus is just one example of the great restaurants you can find in the neighbourhood.

And while you would have to pay £12,900,000 for this luxurious home, it's a steal compared to the value of Buckingham Palace, if it were ever to go on private sale.
