- Your Changing of the Guard Tour of London will start at the Victoria Palace Theatre. This is located near Victoria Station. On arrival at the start point please meet your tour guide holding the yellow umbrella at the clock in front of the theatre.
The tours run in all weathers. During wet weather, the British Army may do a 'Wet Change', which is the shorter version of the Changing of the Guard ceremony without music.
Due to uneven surfaces and unavoidable stairs, the Changing of the Guard tour is currently not wheelchair accessible.
