The Queen's Life Guard consists of two cavalry regiments in addition to five guards. The Horse Guards is housed in a historic building on a former barracks between Whitehall and St James Park. There is an old clock on the tower of the Horse Guards building above the arch. It was Westminster's main clock until Big Ben was built in 1859. A dark spot is visible on the dial above number two. It is believed that it appeared at the time of the execution of King Charles I Stuart in 1641. Cromwell, who then headed parliament and pushed to the execution, will be executed during the restoration of the monarchy. The parade and the changing of the horse guard take place in front of the main entrance to the barracks every day, on weekdays at 11:00, and Sundays at 10:00.
This four-hour walk in London introduces us to Westminster, the heart of the English monarchy. We will visit the old abbey, find the lawn on which the football game was born, and taste ale in the oldest pub. Look into the Winston Churchill bunker, find out who catches mice at 10 Downing Street, get acquainted with the ceremonies of Buckingham Palace and walk through the parks. We will visit the famous Piccadilly Street and its neighbour, where tailors rented rooms to Rothschild and Isaac Newton. We will relax in Trafalgar Square if we wish, we will visit the National Gallery. Finally, we will find ourselves in the theatre district and the Soho quarter. Let us go!
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
