Starts daily at 11AM rain or shine. Get there early by at least a good 45 minutes to secure a good spot and you'll be rewarding with an amazing, one-of-a-kind performance.

Changing of the Guards was awesome. Highly recommended for tourists visiting London. But get there early if you want a good viewing point, the crowds are insane.

A ‘must see’ for every visitor to London. The actual Guard Mounting takes place at 11:30am everyday (alternate days during the winter) but the bands start at 11:15am. Read more

Starts at 11:30 every day, but it is worthy coming 15-30 earlier to get good spot.

Listen to the fanfare playing the James Bond theme.

Way to crowded couldn't see much even though I can 20 min earlier. Big plus though! I saw the queen leaving from the palace with her dogs from up close.

A lot of people. Really a lot.

Couldn’t see much because tall people decided to stand by the fence, blocking the sight for the rest of us.
