Directions

Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the King and one of the most famous palaces in the world, located in the heart of London

The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is one of the most famous events in the city, but it does not take place on the same days all year round.

To know exactly when it happens, you need to check the official website of the Royal Family (Royal.uk), in the Changing the Guard section. There you’ll find the updated schedule with dates, times, and any changes.

The ceremony usually starts around 11:00 am, but it’s best to arrive earlier, as the guards begin positioning themselves from about 10:30 am and the area gets crowded quickly.
