A London photo every day. Some pictures will be there for their own sake, some because they are places you may like to see, all because they are part of what makes London what it is. Requests welcome!

post a commentAre the guards allowed to stand inside the box? I mean in pouring-down-rain? Interesting post. The guard job is not given over to the police but to the military.
I tried to get on your blog yesterday but it wouldn't load for some reason. So I never made it but was trying.
Guards can retreat to the boxes in very bad weather.
Their postion there is largely ceremonial - armed police are never more than a few yards away. Although, in extremis, I am sure that they would defend themselves vigourously.
