Buckingham Palace

If you can, try visiting on a weekday instead of the weekend; it gets super crowded on weekends. I went on a Tuesday and barely had to wait for anything!

I recommend spending some time in the gardens; they’re beautiful and offer a nice break from the crowds. Just be mindful of the time to not miss your entry!

make sure to check the changing of the guard schedule. i missed it because i didn't factor in the time, and it was a bummer.

I suggest booking your tickets online in advance. I didn’t, and I ended up waiting in a huge line just to buy them at the entrance.
Tower of London

My advice is to download the audio guide for free on your phone before you go. It really enhances the experience without spending extra on rentals.

I think you should take some time to just wander around the outer areas of the Tower. It's less crowded there and still has awesome views and history

I suggest getting there right when they open at 9 AM. The crowds build up fast, and you'll have a better chance to explore without bumping into too many people.

I recommend packing a sandwich or snack. The food inside is a bit pricey and if you're on a budget, it'll help save some cash.
