It appears to be an ordinary house, so why all the barbed wire around it? The other side of the fence is the grounds of Buckingham Palace. I guess the ordinary house is actually a guards house or something similar. The grounds are usually off limits to the public, however when the Queen is away during summer (August and September) and the palace is open to the public, visitors also have access to part of the garden and can buy an ice-cream made especially for the occasion.

I remember going to the top of Wellington Arch and being told we could peek over the wall into Buckingham Palace Gardens. We didn't see anything but trees.
I like how deceiving it looks from outside, you'd never know what was beyond the walls.
Could have fooled me!
I remember being at this spot quite a few years ago.
Took the tour 10 years ago on THE hottest day in London history. E-2 was thoughtful enough to have tents to cover the waiting area and also water available. The walk through the garden to the exit showed how deceptively large the grounds really are.
