I think this piece is a bit off when talking about when to go to find a spot along the processional route. Typically for a royal occasion people camp out the night before and sleep on the street to keep their space. The area in the circle in front of the Palace will be controlled access. There are bleachers set up, but those come with a cost and connections. The international TV networks are having 22 studios built on the side nearest Canada Gate. So after the wedding and when the Royal Family have returned to the Palace, then the crowds will be allowed to walk up The Mall to gather around the Victoria Memorial and greet the family on the balcony.
The train connections into London can be somewhat problematic. Aside from delays, those trains will be packed so the stations will be crowded. The day of the wedding is an official holiday in the Kingdom so most people who know where they're going will either be there or stay in.
