Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is a royal palace in the City of Westminster, London, and the setting of the Changing the Guard ceremony.
Why go
Buckingham Palace is a royal palace in the City of Westminster, which Wikidata describes as the official London residence and principal workplace of the British monarch. The Household Division's page on Changing the Guard says that in the ceremony at Buckingham Palace the Old Guard forms up in front of the palace and is relieved by the New Guard arriving from Wellington Barracks with a band, and that this ceremony is the model for guard changes at other royal residences. The same page says ceremonial activity can be altered or cancelled at very short notice, especially in wet weather, and points to its schedule for dates. This record is the palace, not the King's Gallery, which Wikidata keeps as a separate item, and it states nothing about visiting the palace's interior.
