In front of Buckingham Palace (when I visited the State Rooms in September)

The Seats of Power Walk focused on sites that celebrate England's government and monarchy. Some of the places on the walk were royal residences at one point. Others were monuments to the monarchy or to great leaders of the government or military. There were quite a few war memorials on the walk. Buckingham Palace was the end of the walk. I visited Buckingham Palace in September and toured the state rooms, so I got better pictures then than I did on the walk. The sights on the Whitehall Walk were very interesting.
