What people say

"The horse guards and their parade off of Whitehall is a part of the Changing of the Guards ceremony. It’s amazing to see this long standing tradition. Whitehall houses the Household Cavalry Museum and is the working headquarters of the Household Division, which provides the King’s Guard. Horse Guards at Whitehall is not only a functional military headquarters but also a symbol of the ceremonial and historic traditions within the British monarchy. "
"The changing of the guard takes place at 11am everyday (10am on Sunday), and there's a guard inspection at 4pm. It's best to time your visit for the changing of the guard but even if you can't it's worth walking by. "
Maria Garcia
" The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is one of the programs that attracts the most visitors in London. It's 45 minutes of a tradition that deserves to be seen. "

Welcome to London! Travelling with a kid can be tricky, but I'm here to help! I have created a one-week guide for my brother and his family, and I hope you will find it useful as well. But in any case, this itinerary is ideal for couples and families traveling without children. 💡This guide is divided into sections by neighbourhood to showcase some of my favourite full-day walks around the city. Each walk is a delightful adventure, carefully curated to include at least one stop your child will love. Whether it's a museum, zoo, hot chocolate cafe, or a park, there's something for everyone to enjoy. 🏠 If you need my help finding apartments based on your requirements, write to me. I have rented more than 70 apartments on Airbnb and have recommended a huge number to my friends. 🤹At the end of the itinerary you can find extra entertainment for your children. ❌My restaurant recommendations are not strictly created for families with children, as all have their own preferences regarding food. 🚲This guide focuses on walking routes, but you can also use rental bikes (Santander, Lime, or Voi), buses, or the underground (tube) to get around. You can pay for public transport with a contactless card or phone or ride-sharing services like Uber or taxis.
