I loved it.
It was quite great to see this famous palace.
It became much more beautiful as the sun set and the palace lights started lighting up the palace and it's surroundings.
It was not as crowded as other parts of London today.
Definitely worth visiting.
The change of guard ceremony draws an immense crowd, but witnessing the spectacle is truly worthwhile. It is advisable to arrive early to secure a favorable vantage point for viewing. The magnificent structure is awe-inspiring, adorned with grand, spacious gates that exude beauty.
Great tourist attraction. The architecture of the palace is timeless. I loved the gift of New Zealand. The symbolism of a woman holding a scythe and walking a lion is deep. The gardens outside the palace are well kept and beautiful during the summer.

The residence of the Royals. Took the tour inside which can take about 2-3 hours. Its self guided and you get a multimedia audio guide. Very elaborate and impressive archtecture with so much history and art dating back centuries. Photographs are not allowed to be taken inside the palace. It completes at the back of the palace at the gardens where you have the souvenir shop and exit via a 300m walk through the palace gardens.
We did not go inside the palace, we went outside and watched the entertaining march of the palace soldiers. It gets very crowded so go there early to secure a place so you can see through the gate what is happening inside. The store had some nice souvenirs but a little pricey.
It depends on when you visit! We've compiled data from NASA on what the weather is like in England for each month of the year: see the links below for more information.
