    Home of Queen Liz, Buckingham Palace is also the HQ of the monarchy. You can get access to some areas of the Palace by organsied tour. Most visitors come to see the changing of the guard. It takes place at 11.30am each day for about 3/4 of an hour. In winter time it happens every second day.

    It's worth to visit the Buckingham Palace other then at "changing guard time" as well. You can see some beautiful details, like for example the fence itself! :) Thanks for the extra info from b1bob: the design of the fence is called "Fleur-de-lis".

    Fronting the outer gates of Buckingham Palace is the majestic QUEEN VICTORIA MONUMENT. Built in 1911, the monument of white marble stands 82 feet high with a wonderful large statue of Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria ( 1819 - 1901 ) became Queen of England at the tender age of 18. She married her cousin Prince Albert and had nine children together - four sons and five daughters. When Albert died she was devastated as he was the love of her life, her confidante and advisor.

    How can you come to London without seeing the Changing of the Guard? If you wish to see the ceremony inside the Palace courtyard itself, you may want to show up a couple of hours early, and then just sit tight. The crowds gather early and take up the good spaces.

  • It may be the Queen's home, in London. It is also beautiful and epitomises Britishness. To walk the Mall is to be in London. From Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace - A secret aiplane runway for the queen, should she need it. Little things like this make Britain (UK) what it is. To watch the sentry guards sweating in their fur hats, to peak through the railings hoping for a glimpse of royalty. This is London. A bit sad really - but I did it and so does everyone else! Of course, nowadays you can pay to go in. Silly me, thinking that is what my taxes were for. Thank you Mam.

    You're in London right? So you wanna see Buckingham Palace, home of the Queen of England. I definitely recommend seeing it, but it wasn't what I had envisioned. Kind of reminded me of something equivalent to the White House in Washington D.C. I guess I was expecting something like a castle. If you want to see changing of the guard, they only do that at certain times. So you might want to find out when they do that before you head out.

    Changing of the guard is a must see in London, even though you have to be lucky to get close to the fence and actually see something, because every time an amazing crowd gets together for this event. Try to settle yourself at the statue in front of the main entrance and then you can see the guards marching out. 'The schedule of the changing is supposed to be like this: - Daily at 11.30am from April - July - Odd days during August & November (1, 3, 5 etc) - Even days during September & October (2, 4, 6 etc) Alternate days for the rest of the year.
