London it is often associated with fish and chips, Harrods stores, Camden Town markets but most of all Buckingham Palace and the changing of the guard.
The show that cannot be missed is that of changing of the guard which takes place every day from April to July and on alternate days from August to March. The show, very british more than many other things, it is recommended for all tourists, but often even the most nationalist English do not miss this show.
On the square in front of Buckingham Palace the guard who finishes his shift dismounts and another guard takes over with a show and a ceremony that has been repeated for years. The red uniforms and the black bearskin hats are a really demanding outfit that gurdies wear even in the height of summer screaming at the top of their lungs for a good half hour.
A curiosity, the changing of the guard is called Guard Mounting, the guard rides a horse. And you, have you ever witnessed the changing of the guard?
