we're traveling to London primarily for the Royal wedding in April. Besides that, we want to see London's attractions, in particular, the changing of the Guard. where exactly happens and does it happen all year long?

The changing of the guard happens in front of Buckingham Palace beginning around 11:15 (probably be best to get there by 11:00 or earlier) and lasts until around noon.

dewapetir666... you seem to be doing a lot of posts like this, and they don't really contribute anything to the thread. You might like to review the way you use these forums, otherwise you might find yourself getting the chop from Aaron...

For anyone going to the changing of the Guard, get there at least an hour early. Within 30 minutes of the changing of the guard they shut the area in front off and won't let anyone else in. It is a long wait and in my opinion a must see - at least once but probably not more. Walk around Buckingham Palace when you go. I didn't realize there is a pond and a garden in front beyond the statue of Queen Victoria.
