	Buckingham Palace: Changing of the Guard Tip Rating:

Many children brought up on Winnie the Pooh books, will know of Christopher Robin and the poem "They are Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace".
The Grenadier Guards in their red jackets and black bearskins are a very popular sight.

Me in front of the Palace

by fishandchips

This is one of the top three things to see in London (with the British Museum & Tower of London). The palace is easy to get to requiring only a smallish walk through from a nearby tube station. From the Green park station it's a nice walk through Green Park to the from of the palace and also the ticket booth why you can buy tickets for palace tours. The Palace was built in 1703 and is home to the British Royal family plus it's the administrative headquarters of the monarchy. If you take one of the tours you will get to see some of the State rooms only plus a collection of paintings including flemish and dutch masters Rubens & Rembrandt.

Awsome place but make sure you're there at the right time cause it opens when the Queen goes away to Scotland near the end of the summer and I do suggest booking your vist cause oh boy the last thing you want to do is wait and wait for no reason and get nothing at all, that almost happend to us but luckily Dennis surprised me and told me when we were waiting that he had booked a time, oh I was so happy I just wanted to kiss Dennis right there but then I was like well what if the ladies see this, can't do anything to make the ladies get the wrong idea here!! There is awsome info on the website about the Palace, it's a sure go if you got the time and are in the city in the right time period.

	Buckingham Palace: A better way to see the changing of the guard Tip Rating:

The Horse Guards, dismounted

by londonlover

This is the Horse Guards Dismount Ceremony, which happens daily at 4 PM at the Horse Guards Parade area near Buckingham Palace. Obviously, based on this picture, you can get an excellent view without waiting forever, unlike the Changing of the Guard at the actual Palace. It's a very solemn but entertaining ritual, and I'd recommend seeing this over the traditional ceremony.

	Buckingham Palace: Check out the royals Tip Rating:

Buckingham Palace is another one of those must see locations when visiting London. As home to the royal family, the palace is actually the residence of the Queen. Tours are available, but not when the family is in residence.

The palace itself, plus the gardens and changing of the guard make for an interesting sight-seeing event.

Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the Queen, and also the busy administrative headquarters of the British Monarchy, must be one of the most famous buildings in the world.
Visited by thousand upon thousand of people daily, to admire the beautiful Palace, and surrounding gardens, definitely something to put on your must see list when visiting London.

The Guard Changing at
Buckingham Palace

by RhineRoll

Having come across this ceremony only by accident and not being a big fan of all this royal stuff, it still is a bit of a puzzler to me why the changing of the guard is considered one of the top tourist attractions of London. But anyway, the following internet link will help you to find out whether it is happening during your visit and what it's all about.

Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the British Sovereigns for over 170 years. It humbly began as a town house for the Duke of Buckingham.

Today the Queen lives there. It is currently open to visitors regularly. You have the ability to go in and view the exquisite art and furnishings in the state rooms.

Enjoy your visit!

	Buckingham Palace: Changing of the guard at the Buckingham Palace Tip Rating:

Crowd at the fence

by MedioLatino

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 a huge crowd gets together for this event (see picture :).

It's supposed to happen on these days, but check in advance for exact dates:
- 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.
