United Kingdom Guards at Buckingham Palace, London

One of the most typical themes for photographers in London are those famous guards, standing in front of Buckingham Palace. Even though the palace and the architecture itself isn't the most beautiful one, the persistence and conscientiousness of these guards is still worth a visit.

There are nearly always hundrets of people standing on front of this building taking selfies etc. If you are interested in the building itself you should try to come very early during summer at times when tourists would never stand up for, but framing parts of the building is no problem all over the day, because there is a huge fence in front of Buckingham Palace you can shoot through.
If you want to take photos of the guards it's probably not a bad idea to get there during the day with more available light to increase your shutter speed, because thoses guards can be pretty fast and move their arms a lot.

Buckingham Palace is pretty much in the center of London and pretty easy to find. There are many tube stations around like Green Park, St. James's Park or Hyde Park Corner with just a few minutes to walk.
