BUCKINGHAM PALACE - Buckingham House, as it was first called, was built by the 1st Duke of Buckingham between 1702 and 1705, and bought by George III in 1762. One of the most interesting sight is the Changing of the Guard. There are always guardsmen - and policemen too- outside the Palace. Every day a new guard of thirty guardsmen marches to the Palace and takes the place of the old guard.


This is one of the most popular sights for tourists in London. First the band marches through the gates of the Palace. The job of the police is to stop the tourists from following the guards! Then the rest of the new guard marches through the gates. The guardsmen wear traditional uniform: a red coat and a black helmet. The helmet is called a ‘bearskin’ and it’s made of fur.

London has many traditions like the Changing of the Guard and many sights for the tourist to see. Buckingham Palace is just one of them.
