Listen & look closer

We start at Horse Guards, where the first walk finished. Look up at the clock tower before we turn towards the park.

Horse Guards is the official entrance to St James's and Buckingham Palace. That sounds like a grand beginning, and it is. But our route stays on public paths. We're following the park towards the Palace gates, with a few smaller things to notice along the way.

Narration uses a synthetic voice. Places, routes and stories are researched, with sources and photo credits available in each tour.
