Changing of the Guards--Buckingham Palace

Our first day in London turned out to be a beautiful day with blue skies. Perfect day to see the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace.


Read Rick Steves for instructions on how best to see the Changing of the Guards.


The Queen was not in residence since the Union Jack was flown. If the Queen was in residence, you would see the Royal Standard flown.


We were able to get glimpses of the guards through the fence. The main ceremony takes place in the fenced courtyard at 11 am most days of the week. You can look online at www.householddivision.org.uk for the current schedule.


From the Victoria Memorial, you can get a view of the ceremony at the palace and the arriving and departing processions along the Mall.




Another place to see the guards is on Marlborough Road near St. James' Palace. 


Cavalry Guards headed down the Mall.
