Highlights
Follow London's iconic Changing of the Guard up close on this small-group walking tour with a local guide. Walk alongside the guards as they march to the beat of the drums toward Buckingham Palace, passing The Mall, St James's Palace, Clarence House and St James's Park, with chances to take photos along the way. Your guide explains the history of the British monarchy and its traditions, and the hidden meaning behind the colors, buttons and movements of the guards' uniforms. In summer, you can also choose an option that includes entry to the Buckingham Palace State Rooms.
Program
Follow the Changing of the Guard
up close with a local guide
Meet your guide at the equestrian statue of Edward VII on Waterloo Place for a small-group walking tour of about 2 hours to watch the Changing of the Guard. Following the procession, your guide explains the meaning and history of one of Britain's oldest and most iconic ceremonies. Choose from English, French or German groups.
Watch the march from The Mall and St James's Palace
Pass The Mall and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Memorial, then watch the march and take photos at St James's Palace, Clarence House and St James's Park. The tour does not stand at the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, where crowds make it hard to see anything; instead, you watch from spots along the guards' route.
Discover the symbols of the guards
Learn how to tell the Welsh Guards from the Grenadier Guards, hear the story of the bearskin hats, and discover the meaning behind the colors, buttons, mascots and movements of the uniforms. The tour ends near Buckingham Palace.
Visit the Buckingham Palace State Rooms in summer
The "Buckingham Palace State Rooms ticket included" option is available only during the summer opening. After the Changing of the Guard tour, explore the State Rooms at your own pace and admire the grand interiors, works of art and treasures not usually on display. This option takes about 4 hours.
※ The ceremony may be changed or cancelled at the discretion of the British Army.
