Buckingham Palace has a helipad, but it’s hidden in the gardens. If you hear a helicopter landing or taking off—especially a red one with a royal crest—that’s your King arriving or departing. (Or it’s a delivery of organic vegetables, who knows.) The best time to catch this is early morning or late evening, when the sound carries. I once heard a chopper on a Sunday and thought, “Charles is back from church,” but it was just a pizza delivery for the staff. I felt so betrayed.
