Changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday at 11am.
March is a pretty quiet month in London. However, this year at the end of the month we already have Holy Week, so a lot of movement is expected in the city, so it is advisable that you reserve restaurants, skyscrapers or museums in advance to ensure your place.
1. LAST MINUTE TICKETS . You can still try to get last minute tickets at a good price for musicals and theaters.
We recommend apps like TodayTixx or the boxoffice.co.uk website.
2. PARKS. You can take advantage of the fact that the days are starting to get longer to see flowering trees , the beginning of spring, and take beautiful walks through London's parks.
From Hyde Park to Battersea Park, passing through our favourite, St. James's Park.
3. SEE TOWER BRIDGE OPEN. Take advantage of better times, so Tower Bridge opens more times. On average, it opens 800 times a year, but in spring and summer it is much easier to see it, and this March it will open several times. Check the schedules on the website to match your visit.
4. SUNSET IN SKY GARDEN OR HORIZON 22 . Book a free ticket to see the sunset from a skyscraper. This city has some of the best sunsets , so you shouldn't miss one from a certain point, and see how the sun falls over the city.
