If you choose a morning when Changing the Guard is operating (usually every Mon, Wed, Fri & Sun) then they'll stop outside Buckingham Palace so you can watch the soldiers marching along to the military music. If the ceremony isn't on then they'll just stop outside the palace for photographs instead.

Your trip will come to a tasty end with a traditional meal of fish and chips in a central London pub near Victoria. You can't beat a bit of crisply battered cod and chunky chips drenched in vinegar! (A vegetarian option is also available, but must be ordered at least 24 hours in advance.)
