Aim for a morning start
Early departures avoid peak crowds at Westminster and provide better photo light; if you want the Guards, book a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday tour and confirm the schedule.
Bring contactless payment
Oyster cards or contactless bank cards make arriving and leaving the meeting point faster and cheaper than cash taxis.
Wear sturdy shoes
Expect 3–4 miles on pavement with some cobbles around historic sites—supportive footwear prevents soreness by tour end.
Pack a compact rain layer
London weather changes quickly; a lightweight waterproof with a hood keeps you comfortable without weighing you down.
Supportive walking shoes
Cushioned, closed‑toe shoes handle pavement and occasional cobbles for hours of walking.
Light rain jacket
A waterproof shell keeps you dry in sudden showers common in spring and autumn.
