Is that really part of the Belgian Suite, it looks so out of character? I will upload the ground floor plans in the next day or so.

One more thing, the plans do have a date of September 1910, its handwritten, so not sure how accurate it is. You can see that someone has penciled in on the one enlarged SE Corner plan, the newer facade with columns. Does anyone know when the Bathrooms within the King/Queens private apartments were built - the ones with the circular ends that project from the main part of the building? I have an early exterior photograph of that side which doesn't show them. Also the photos of the QV Dressing Rooms earlier in this thread show two individual windows along the exterior wall within vs. the triple windows that are shown on these plans.

The plans above are actually two separate plans (images) but the images ran together, here they are as separate images - The floor plans of Buckingham Palace are the copyright property of someone else being used here without their permission.

Gleb, thanks for the response, you do have quite a few books. I'll have to look some up and see what the covers look like.

Hopefully this will be a better version of the West Front State Apartments. I'm not sure why some of the plans came in smaller than others.
ChrisinUSA:
I think that the room labeled Audience Room may in fact be what is currently referred to as the Regency Room - a fairly simple room that the Queen uses as a Sitting Room. I've seen many photos of the Queen in the Regency Room, the photos show (2) windows on the garden side and a single door centered at one end - this is the only room in that area that seems to fit that description on the floor plan (although Gleb mentioned he thought is was the Dining Room - so I'm not 100% sure). As far as the other rooms west of these, I'm not sure what their actual use is. You mentioned a famous photo of the Private Dining Room with tupperware - I've never seen it, is it possible to post it? I do believe Gleb is correct that the balcony runs along most of the north facade. Once again, I'm not what the room to the left of Audience Room is used for. I thought the Queen always received Ambassadors with their credentials on the ground floor in the 1844 Room, not the First Floor, although you could be correct in saying it is a waiting room for others that the Queen receives in Audience. I've attached what will hopefully be even larger versions of the other area you mentioned (SE corner and Household Corridor). They are a series of offices and staff bedrooms.

I tried my best with the plans, hopefully everyone can read the room names, if not, just ask, and I'll clarify. I'll upload the ground floor later. Enjoy.

Sorry for the multiple posts. I was trying to possibly get the entire plan attached with the room names visible, but it didn't work. So, I'll have to do each section like this one.

Here is the entire First Floor Plan, not sure if the room names will come in clear, if not, I'll do them in sections similiar to above.
