A historical ceremony, where the New Guard of the Household Division arrive accompanied by a regimental marching band to replace the Old Guard in their duty of protecting the Palace.  Instantly recognisable in their bearskin caps and scarlet tunics, they may not look like standard military, but don´t let the outfits fool you -they are in fact elite soldiers from the British army! 

St. Paul's Cathedral Guided Tour: 

This magnificent domed cathedral is one of the most recognisable sights in London and still a symbolical part of the city´s skyline, even after 300 years! 

Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, it took 35 years to build this masterpiece, and it is one of the largest churches in the world.
