Introduction

Buckingham Palace is the British royal residence and a symbol of monarchy—a grand palace in central London, the monarch's official London home and a must-see for the royal pageantry and the Changing of the Guard. The monarch's official London palace, between St James's Park and Green Park, grand and solemn, with the Queen Victoria Memorial before it. When the royal standard flies, the monarch is in residence. The classic draw is the Changing of the Guard—red-uniformed, bearskin-hatted guards with a band, a grand ceremony (fixed dates/times, weather-dependent). In summer, the State Rooms open to the public. Exploring Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard is a royal London sight.
