As iconic an image of London as red telephone boxes and double–decker buses, the Changing of the Guard is a not–to–be–missed royal ceremony. A mass of red tunics, and bearskins, this will be an unforgettable experience. (When the ceremony is not available, a stop at Horseguards Parade will replace it).
