The Changing of Guard in the Buckingham Palace is considered a “must” in London. Well, I would discuss this point. We went there, together with a couple of tourists who were around…
… and we really did not see much. It is exactly the same as any other change of guard. I would even say that I liked more the one in Stockholm, where the atmosphere is a bit more intimate. Even though, the customs of these guards are quite nice, I do not think it was really worth to see it.
Due to the crowd, a few policemen riding horses had to work hard to make people stay in their positions, and also make available for the normal pedestrians to walk by. This couple of policemen was the funniest part of the whole event, as they had a “subtle” british humour, while they tried to keep open a path for pedestrians.
In conclusion: don’t go to the Changing of Guard in Buckingham Palace, if you happen to visit London. It’s not worth. 🙂
