Changing of the Guard Walking Tour

Duration

clock1 hour 30 minutes

Overview

    You may be thinking that the best place to view the Changing of the Guard is at the gates of Buckingham Palace but this is not the case.
    It's often overcrowded and the chance of you seeing much can be somewhat disappointing.
    Most of the best vantage points happen away from the Palace, and on this tour you will be able to get much closer.
    At St James's Palace the guards form up and then we'll wait on the Mall to watch the Household Cavalry go by in their dazzling uniforms.
    We'll see Clarence House and then take a position away from the throngs of other tourists so you can see the guards march past you in front of the Palace and we'll march with them to Wellington Barracks for the end of the ceremony.
    Please note, that during bad weather the ceremony can be cancelled at short notice.
    If this occurs then the tour will take place at Horseguards Parade where you can see the Household Cavalry doing the change.
    Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start time of the tour.
