What visit to London would feel complete without a visit to Buckingham Palace. Originally built as a large townhouse back in the early 1700's for the king of Buckingham, the palace has gone through many royal hands and changes in appearance. In it's modern state, there are several areas of the palace which are open to the public to visit. Every 2 days, you can also watch the ceremony of the "Changing of the guards", from the gates of the palace. It's quite a pleasant area to enjoy a nice sunny day. Adjacent to it you will find some enormous parks, including Green Park, Hyde Park and St James park, which together cover over 50 hectars. Definitely an important site to explore of anyone's visit to London, England.
