The red avenue from the Palace to Admiralty Arch. Walk it; do not hail a cab. Next is Trafalgar Square — do not also stack Kensington Palace the same day.
Analysis
Split the exterior of The Mall from the interior. The avenue is open daily; it closes for ceremonies. Security queues start outside the door; wear flats. On a day the exterior is free, do not buy the interior just for a photo. Leave via Charing Cross.
Best time
When morning traffic is thin
How to go
Walk in from Charing Cross or Green Park
Transit
At Charing Cross for The Mall, match the street name before you walk. With luggage, do not change at a deep-stair station. Keep one train before the last one back to the hotel.
Season window
Guard changes, ceremonies and public holidays close roads around The Mall. Summer noon glare is harsh; winter dusk is early — take the exterior in the morning.
Tips
- · Tickets: Free. Plan about 20 minutes.
- · On ceremony days use the park side
- · Large liquids fail security at The Mall. Coach parties take the pavement; walk in from the side street.
