A British landmark and cultural must-see in London but I wouldn’t recommend coming to watch the changing of the guard unless you have hours to burn The palace itself is both imposing and majestic and situated in a gorgeous park. If you’re visiting changing of the guard, make sure to get there plenty early (an hour and half before) as only the folks near the fence can see. However, there are times where they cancel the changing without warning.

I went the second week of January on a weekday and it was definitely less crowded than I was thinking. Still a lot of people around, but nothing comparable to when it’s popular season. It was off season to tour, but I would recommend getting tickets if you do want to tour it beforehand. The guard changes are online and easy to understand. Get there early for them!!!

I originally wasn’t sure if the changing of the guard was going to be worth it, but afterwards realized it definitely was. I would recommend standing as close to the center gate as possible, and stay up against the fence. If you stand along the street to watch them march in, and then move to the fence once they are inside, you will give up a good spot next to the fence. I would plan on showing up 30-60 min before it starts. If you want to be right against the fence, then show up even earlier.

Buckingham Palace, the iconic London residence of the British monarch, stands as a symbol of royal power and tradition. Originally a modest townhouse, it has evolved into a grand neoclassical palace over centuries. Its State Rooms, adorned with opulent furnishings and priceless art, are the setting for grand receptions and state occasions. The Changing of the Guard ceremony, a colorful spectacle of military precision, draws crowds daily. Beyond its grandeur, Buckingham Palace is a working palace, housing the monarch's offices and private apartments. It's a place where history unfolds, from royal weddings to national celebrations. A visit to Buckingham Palace offers a glimpse into the world of royalty and the heart of British heritage.
