In addition, you can also observe the infamous change of the guard ceremony, wherein the New Guard, a colorfully dressed detachment, parades towards the palace and replaces the existing, Old Guard. Accompanied by music played by a military band the ceremony takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays (and daily in the summer). Amongst the 600 rooms of the palace visitors can visit a few but only during summer from late July to September.<\/p>\n<p><b>Travel Tips<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear comfortable footwear as the visitor route is a half-mile walk through the garden to the exit.<\/li>\n<li>There is a security screening at the royal house, so calculate an extra 15 minutes to your itinerary.<\/li>\n<li>As Buckingham Palace is a working royal palace, security and opening arrangements may be subject to change at short notice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"prod-3\">Westminster Abbey<\/h2>\n<p>MORNING 11am || RECOMMENDED DURATION: 1 HOUR<\/p>\n<p>Top 10 London Attractions<\/p>\n<p>Medieval Gothic Church<\/p>\n<p>It is now time to dip your toes into some historic tales: London\u2019s most famous and oldest religious building, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/westminster-abbey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Westminster Abbey<\/a> has seen some of UK\u2019s most important historical events over the last thousand years.

Often referred to as the Shard of Glass, the pyramid-shaped structure of the building is embroidered with glass and makes for a breathtaking view. The Shard also boasts an observation deck on the 72nd floor, situated at a height of 245 meters it is aptly named The View.

While the Plays are only staged in the summer months, May to October, the theatre is open year round for educational purposes. The special tours include access to stands, which are divided into different areas as was the case in the original theatre. Earlier they were divided according to the social class of the spectators now it is divided as per the price of the tickets.

For example: You&#8217;re better off walking from Covent Garden to Leicester Square instead of getting the tube (it takes 5 minutes max). Also, you&#8217;ll miss a lot of the city&#8217;s architecture if you spend too much time travelling underground.<\/li>\n<li><b>Free Museums<\/b>:  If you&#8217;re a museum buff, know that top art galleries and museums including Tate Modern, National Gallery and British Museum, the Southbank Centre art complex have free entry.<\/li>\n<li><b>London Theatre District<\/b> : While it&#8217;s hard to squeeze in a Westend show with just one day in London, make sure you catch a show if you&#8217;re staying in London for more than a day.<\/li>\n<li><b>For the shopaholics<\/b> : London is a shoppers&#8217; paradise and for those watching the pennies, there&#8217;s plenty of bargain options &#8211; Primark, London&#8217;s vintage emporiums and so many more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>London Essentials<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few detailed guides on London that will help you plan your trip well.
