Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch and a working royal palace at the heart of Westminster. The State Rooms open to the public during summer, and the Changing of the Guard ceremony — held outside the railings on Buckingham Palace Road — is one of London's most-watched free attractions, drawing crowds of 1,500+ on busy days.

About Buckingham Palace

The palace sits at the western end of The Mall, with St James's Park and Green Park on either side. Victoria, Green Park, St James's Park and Hyde Park Corner Underground stations are all within a 10-minute walk. Buckingham Palace Road, The Mall and Constitution Hill are closed to traffic during the Changing of the Guard (typically 10:30-12:00), so pre-booked taxis pre-position on Grosvenor Place or Birdcage Walk for pickup after the ceremony.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do taxis drop off near Buckingham Palace?
The closest drop-off is on Buckingham Palace Road, just south of the palace gates. During the Changing of the Guard (typically 10:30-12:00) this road is closed; drivers use Grosvenor Place or Lower Grosvenor Place instead.
What time is the Changing of the Guard?
The full ceremony begins at 10:45 and runs to approximately 11:30, though arrival and departure of the old and new guards extends from 10:30 to 12:00. The schedule varies — daily during summer, alternate days in winter, weather-dependent. Check royal.uk for the current schedule.
Can you collect from Buckingham Palace after touring the State Rooms?
Yes — the State Rooms open July-September. Tours typically take 2-2.5 hours. Exit is on Grosvenor Place where pre-booked taxis pick up easily.
How long does a private royal-sites tour take?
Our standard royal London chauffeur tour (Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Tower of London, Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle) is a full 8-10 hour day. Half-day options (4-5 hours, central London only) start at around £180.
Are vehicles allowed on The Mall during the Changing of the Guard?
No — The Mall, Buckingham Palace Road and Constitution Hill close to traffic during the ceremony. Drivers pre-position on Grosvenor Place, Birdcage Walk or Park Lane and reconnect after the road reopens.
Can we combine Buckingham Palace with afternoon tea?
Yes — many guests book us for a Buckingham Palace State Rooms tour + afternoon tea at The Ritz, The Goring (the King's choice) or Claridge's. We hold the car between locations and wait at each.
