FAMOUS LANDMARKSBUCKINGHAM PALACE has served as the official London residence of Britain’s sovereigns since 1837. Changing of the Guard takes place at 11:30am every day in the summer, and alternate days in the winter.

CLARENCE HOUSE was designed by John Nash and built between 1825 and 1827 for the Duke of Clarence, later William IV. It was the London home to the late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.

QUEEN VICTORIA MEMORIAL is a 25 metre (82ft) high edifice by the sculptor Thomas Brock and the architect Aston Webb. The whole edifice and statues are of white marble, of which a generous 2,300 tons were used.

ST JAMES’S PALACE was built by Henry VIII alongside his newly acquired deer park in 1532. It is still the official Royal Court.

ST JAMES’S PARK LAKE is the centrepiece of the park’s romantic landscape. It is the home to the park’s collection of waterfowl including the famous pelicans.

DUCK ISLAND is a nature reserve for the park’s bird collection. It also houses the water treatment facilities and pumps for the lake and fountain.

INN THE PARK RESTAURANT is where you can feast on the best of British food using the freshest seasonal produce from small independent producers.

THE CHURCHILL MUSEUM & CABINET WAR ROOMS are dedicated to the life of the ‘greatest Briton’. The secret underground headquarters were the nerve centre of Britain’s war effort.

THE GUARDS MUSEUM contains a wealth of information and artefacts relating to the five regiments of Foot Guards.
