We meet at Green Park Underground station where we will walk through Green Park, one of three Royal Parks in the area, to Buckingham Palace.

Your guide will find the perfect spot from where to watch the world-famous Changing of the Guard. This tradition has been going on for centuries and the British are the best at displaying pomp and glory.

After watching the Changing of the Guard you will walk down the Mall, the red-colored road that is adorned by two royal parks and palaces.

The Mall is the most important road in the UK where national celebrations are held. You will see where Prince Charles lives, Clarence House.

Continue on your walking tour exploring the area while listening to your guide talk about the history of the area as well as fun facts along the way.  Learn about the Royal palaces, to the parks, squares, and fountains you will see that are important to the British Monarchy.
