Changing of the
Guard
Buckingham
Palace
See the Official Website for
Schedules
Catch this stirring
ceremony starting at 11.27am (not in very wet weather). For best views stand in
front of the Palace railings or by the Victoria memorial.
You will get many
opportunities to photograph the Guards - the best time is not actually
during the Guard change but before or after. Wellington Barracks to the left of
Buckingham Palace as you face it, is best just after the ceremony. St James'
Palace before or after the guard change at Buckingham Palace.
During the ceremony (at
about 10.45am and again at 11.40am), the mounted guards will ride past, firstly
going up 'The Mall' and then returning back down.
Want a picture standing
next to a guard? Go to St James' Palace, walk past the courtyard of the Palace
and turn left around the corner (into Pall Mall) and there is a guard standing
all on his own, you can go and stand right next to him!
Go to the Horse Guards
Parade and in Whitehall you can get a picture standing next to a guard mounted
on their horse!!
