History
Buckingham Palace has served as the monarch's official London residence since the reign of Queen Victoria in the 19th century; nearby Westminster Abbey has over a thousand years of royal and national ceremony.
Conservation
High footfall in central parks and heritage sites requires sticking to marked paths and disposing of waste; favor public transport and reusable items to reduce impact.
Reserve your spot on the Full Royal Private Tour: Royal London & Buckingham Palace Entry today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Time your visit for the Guard Change
If seeing the Changing of the Guard matters, book a morning tour on the known Guard Change days and arrive 20–30 minutes early for a clear view.
Use public transport
Nearest Tube stations (Green Park, St James's Park, Westminster) put you a short, often less crowded walk from meeting points—avoid driving and parking.
Prepare for security screening
Expect standard bag checks at Buckingham Palace and bring minimal, easily searchable bags to speed entry.
Dress for pavement and weather
Wear supportive shoes for 3 hours of walking on mixed urban surfaces and carry a lightweight waterproof—London weather changes quickly.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive footwear for pavement, cobbles and park paths throughout the tour.
Light waterproof jacket
