Reminisce The Days in London - Part 5: Visit to Buckingham Palace

The next morning, our destination was the famous Buckingham Palace. The day was very sunny. We left our room early just in case we were lost in somewhere. We can't afford to be late as the Guard Exchange Ceremony would start at 11 AM. Thank God! The place wasn't too hard to find as many visitors from the Victoria tube station is heading to the same destination. We were actually just follow the flow. The picture below is the first building saw when we were out from Victoria Tube station. Very western feel!.. Of course.. we were still in London, weren't we?

Yeah! We have reached at the front door of Buckingham Palace. Let's take a picture. :D


It was still quite early before the ceremony start but quite a lot of tourist were already there booking for the best place to view the ceremony.

While waiting for the event to begin, we took more pictures of the well decorated roundabout and garden in front of Buckingham Palace.






First time seeing the real Lavender.




It's very hard to get picture together as we didn't have a tripod along. This is one of the very few pictures we have together.
Some short clips I took when the guard was changed.





After finished watching the whole ceremony, we proceeded to queue up for to buy the entrance ticket for "The Queen Gallery & The Royal Mews" + The State rooms.
Buckingham Palace is only open during the Summer period when the Queen is not around. So, this is a golden opportunity that not to be missed, regardless of the expensive entrance ticket ( around 29.50 pounds per adult) -> about RM180 to enter the palace~
Some pictures of the Buckingham Palace's backyard. No photography is allowed when visiting inside the palace but I would say it's quite worth the pounds spent.
