Green Park’s plane trees shade a small crowd as a guide counts off the route and the city exhales into a slow, ceremonial rhythm. The group steps toward Buckingham Palace where, on select days, the red-coated regiments and brass fanfare reframe the present with a ritual rooted in eighteenth-century pageantry. From there the walk threads the Royal Mall, past Horse Guards and Whitehall, and lands at Parliament Square before finishing inside the Tower of London — a Norman fortress that keeps watch over the Thames.
