Tour Stops

Observe the King's Guard, battle-hardened yet meticulous in their presentation, undergo rigorous uniform inspections. Accompanied by a live band playing military and popular tunes, this ceremony is a blend of tradition, precision, and pride.

View the Old Gaurd walking towards Buckingham Palace

Witness the disciplined march of the King’s Guards from Friary Court towards Buckingham Palace, their synchronized steps echoing powerfully. Admire the horse guards' salute, their splendid uniforms, and the grandeur of The Mall, leading to Buckingham Palace.

We find ourselves at a strategic vantage point near Wellington Barracks, less crowded than Buckingham Palace. Position yourself on the corner between the barracks and the palace for an unobstructed view of the guards forming up. Capture the New Guard's march right past you towards Buckingham Palace, an excellent photo opportunity.

Enjoy a splendid view, a strategic choice over joining the crowded Buckingham Palace gates. This vantage point, requiring no hours-long queue, offers a broader perspective of the ceremony's symbolism: the monarchy's continuity, the King's Guard's precision, and the palace's protection. Observe the New Guard's entrance and their respectful exchange with the Old Guard, a formal handover symbolizing the shift in responsibility.

Near Clarence House, witness a unique, smaller guard change ceremony, rich in tradition. Observe the guards receiving new orders and reporting any unusual incidents, a process known as the 'shuffle'.
