pro con advice- my repeat "visit" to the area in front of King/Queen Royal Palace
白金汉宫的点评
点评：PROS
* The important and famous symbol of the British royalty
* One of the most famous buildings
* The location of that grand and famous balcony where the royal family greets we commoners
* Tours inside are possible, but quite expensive
CONS
* Most people will only see the outside of the building
* It is always crowded and congested there with people congregate outside the big iron gates, especially for the (often and almost daily) Changing of the Guard ceremony
* There is often not much going on inside the parade grounds
* Tours inside are expensive and only certain times of the year
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... because I'm drawn to be here on every visit to London, and this time was no different.
I arrived via the Green Park tube station and briefly visit the Canada Memorial and then walked around the Canada Gate and onto the traffic circle in front of the building and has the Queen Victoria Memorial at its center.
There isn't much to do there other than walk around, look at the famous but otherwise unimpressive large building, steer clear of traffic, avoid the many others doing the same thing or go to the Victoria Memorial which is directly opposite.
... and here is a repeat of my history with Buckingham Palace:
During my previous visit in 1978, I told the guard inside the gate on the right side that I had traveled from the United States in order to "sign the Queen's guest book" and then was duly escorted into the front paved parade grounds of the palace property and into the front room (all the while under close supervision). It was fun then to be a young long haired and somewhat disheveled backpacking student and enter the Palace grounds while all the other tourists stood outside and watched me through the large iron gates as I entered Buckingham Palace through a main front door. Those were the days.... never to return....
Then in 2016, I presented myself to the policeman stationed inside that same gate that I had entered in 1978 and told him the same exact thing- that I had come from the U.S. to sign the Queen's guest book. He looked at me confused, so I explained what had happened in 1978 (probably before he was born). He responded that that's not done now.
In 2023 and 2024, I didn't even ask the guards about that anymore.
And by the way, I watched the Changing of the Guard from the street- much better and much more worthwhile and satisfying.
Here's what I did-
I have stood on The Mall on the St. James's Park side at the traffic light opposite the street going into St. James Palace.
From there, I watch the guards and marching band exit and they then turn right towards Buckingham Palace.
Then I, along with many others, run with them until reaching the Queen Victoria Memorial.
From there, take the pathway entrance on the left that descends into St. James's Park, a passageway that will take you below the street opposite Buckingham Palace. You come out on Spur Road and turn left into crowds on Birdcage Walk towards Wellington Barracks or wait there in Spur Road for another regiment of guards to march by.
Do not continue them on Spur Road back towards the palace- it’s packed there shoulder to shoulder
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Sure- standing on the street is free
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Sure- as stated above, "a visit to London is not complete without doing that."
ADVICES
* Come and enjoy standing in front of this British royal palace
* Consider taking a tour if it's in season (expensive)
* Consider seeing the marchers on the street as I've described above rather than cramming for an hour crushed in front of the big black iron gates
* Consider watching Horse Guards Parade and the marching on the Mall rather than standing here for the Changing of the Guard ceremony

翻译：优点
* 英国皇室的重要和著名象征
* 最著名的建筑之一
* 皇室家族迎接我们平民百姓的那个宏伟而著名的阳台的位置
* 可以参观内部，但价格相当昂贵
缺点
* 大多数人只能看到建筑物的外部
* 那里总是人头攒动，人们聚集在大铁门外，尤其是（经常和几乎每天）换岗仪式
* 阅兵场内通常没有什么活动
* 内部参观价格昂贵，而且一年只有某些时间
“我参观过这个地方”......
...因为每次访问伦敦，我都会被吸引到这里，这次也不例外。
我通过格林公园地铁站到达，短暂参观了加拿大纪念碑，然后绕过加拿大门，走到大楼前的环形交叉路口，维多利亚女王纪念碑就在它的中心。
除了四处走走、看看这座著名但并不令人印象深刻的大楼、避开交通、避开其他做同样事情的人或前往正对面的维多利亚纪念堂之外，那里没什么可做的。
... 以下是我与白金汉宫的历史重述：
在我 1978 年的上一次访问中，我告诉右侧大门内的警卫，我是从美国来的，是为了“签署女王的宾客名册”，然后被护送到宫殿前铺好的阅兵场和前厅（全程都在密切监督下）。当时，作为一个留着长发、衣冠不整的年轻背包客学生，当我从正门进入白金汉宫时，所有其他游客都站在外面，透过大铁门看着我，这很有趣。那些日子……一去不复返了……
然后在 2016 年，我向站在 1978 年我进入的同一道门内的警察自首，并告诉他同样的事情——我来自美国，来签署女王的宾客名册。他困惑地看着我，于是我解释了 1978 年发生的事情（可能在他出生之前）。他回答说现在不会这样做了。
在 2023 年和 2024 年，我甚至不再问卫兵这件事了。
顺便说一句，我在街上观看了换岗仪式——更好、更有价值、更令人满意。
这是我做的——
我站在圣詹姆斯公园一侧的林荫大道上，在通往圣詹姆斯宫的街道对面的红绿灯处。
从那里，我看到卫兵和游行乐队离开，然后他们右转前往白金汉宫。
然后，我和许多其他人一起跟着他们跑，直到到达维多利亚女王纪念碑。
从那里，走左边的通道入口，下行进入圣詹姆斯公园，这条通道将带你到白金汉宫对面的街道下面。你从斯珀路出来，左转进入鸟笼步道上的人群，朝着惠灵顿兵营走去，或者在斯珀路等待另一队卫兵经过。
不要继续沿着斯珀路回到宫殿——那里人山人海
值得花钱吗？
当然——站在街上是免费的
我会再次访问这个地方吗？
当然——如上所述，“没有这样做，伦敦之旅就不完整。”
建议
* 来欣赏一下站在英国皇宫前的美景吧
* 如果是旺季的话，可以考虑去游览一下（价格昂贵）
* 可以考虑看看我上面描述的街上的游行队伍，而不是挤在黑色大铁门前一小时
* 可以考虑观看皇家骑兵阅兵和林荫大道上的游行，而不是站在这里观看换岗仪式
