wheel in Europe and an astonishing feat of engineering.

London. Boasting 548 shops on the street, it is Europe’s busiest shopping

Changing of the

At Buckingham Palace the Changing of the Guard takes palace in the forecourt
around 11am. The St. James’ Palace detachment of the Queens guard march along
the Mall to Buckingham Palace, where the Buckingham palace detachment has
formed up, in order to await their arrival. The Old Guard and New Guard swap
duties all the while being accompanied by a full military band that play music
to keep the soldiers and watching crowds entertained.
