It's a must see and hey London is expensive and this is free! In the summer they offer tours which would be amazing. However, right now you can only view from outside the gates.

It's not like you can go in or anything but you have to see it if you are in London. The fountain outside the gates is beautiful! Great photo op.

We got there 45 minutes before the changing of the guard (on a Saturday). It was so packed we couldn't even see through the gate, much less see the guards. We settled for a place across the street so we could at least see the guard coming in, then we set off for the Guard museum, and happened across Dismissal...

Everyone should find the time to enjoy this tour. It is very interesting, beautiful, powerful and amazing. It probably took a good half day to see everything, the grounds are truly glorious and you are allowed to walk around without a guide, you also may take photos.
The palace is open in August for a couple of weeks, so plan...

We visited at 7pm the night of the London marathon therefore there was fences up around the palace and the fountain which was a bit of a shame but it did not block our view of the Palace. Its a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. I have seen it on TV yet it still took...

Even if you don't really want to see, what is a trip to London without it! I wish the tours were offered all year round instead of just the summer months. If you are visiting in the summer, it is worth the trip inside. As far as other palaces I've been it's the small area that you actually get to...
