    This is one of the Queens many residencies. It is only open to the public during August, so I wasn't able to see inside. It is still worth the stop.

  • Two Guards at gate during Changing of the Guard - London
    Two Guards at gate during
    Changing of the Guard

    This is something almost everyone who comes to London eventually does. It took 3 visits before I could time it correctly to see this spectacle but it was very interesting. The palace guard dress in red coats and tall furry hats that are called bearskins. They stand in sentry boxes outside the palace where the Queen is in residence. At 11:30 most days, the troops leave the barracks and march down The Mall from St. James Palace, parade for 30 minutes, then end in a ceremony changing of the guard in which the palace keys are handed by the old guards to the new. The picture I included here is of 2 guards posted at the gate. I was amazed at how young they seem to be. I don't know what the age is for these guards. It is quite a spectacle and is worth putting up with all of the tourists to see at least once.

    Visit the famous palace where the English Queen stays. If you are lucky, you get to see the chaging guard parade as well which is rather quite entertaining too.

    Buckingham Palace: Not close enough

  • We didn't get very close, but just being there and seeing it was good enough for me. We missed the changing of the guard, but I beleive it happens at 11:00 a m daily (don't quote me on that; ask a tour guide or travel agent for sure).
    Also, since the fence is so far back from the palace itself, make sure to bring a camera with a zoom!

    We saw the changing of the guard at noon. Many people were standing outside the gate eagerly awaiting the ritual. Go and check it out!
