Come and join our easy, fun audio tour to watch the Changing of the Guard in London. Our guide in your ears will tell you cool things as you walk.
Start your adventure at Green Park Station. It’s just a train station, but that’s where we begin. From there, we’ll walk to Friary Court. It’s an old place with lots of history.
Next, you’ll get to see the Old Guard. They’re soldiers in big hats, and they’ll be walking towards Buckingham Palace. It’s like watching a parade from the past! Then, we’ll go to Wellington Barracks. This is where the soldiers live.
Our special spot is the Buckingham Palace View Point. Here, you can see the whole Changing of the Guard. The guards wear red coats and tall, furry hats. They march and play music.
You’ll also see the Mini-Guard Change. It’s a smaller change, but still very interesting.
With our simple guide, you won’t miss anything important. Just follow the sounds from your phone, look around, and enjoy this famous London tradition!
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.
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'.
