Itinerary

Explore the Household Cavalry, a living museum located within the Horse Guards in Whitehall, central London. Enjoy access to the working Household Cavalry and get a glimpse of the troopers with their horses through a large glazed partition into the original 18th-century stables. Step into the museum and watch history come alive with compelling personal stories, first-hand accounts of the troopers’ rigorous and demanding training, and interactive displays. Gaze at stunning rare objects, many on public display for the first time. Admire a historic building dating from 1750. See what is still the headquarters of the Household Division, where the Household Cavalry has performed the Queen’s Life Guard for over 350 years. Learn about the two senior regiments of the British Army: The Life Guards and the Blues and Royals.

We were given a time slot that was no good to us. Emailed to arrange changing the slot and have never heard back. £20 down the drain.

We expected more, you can see it in 5 minutes, I don't recommend it. Very friendly staff

The museum is in a very nice location. If you are there at a certain time, you can see the guards in action on the other side of the building, which is very exciting to see. The museum itself is quite (Read More) small, you can see the history of the Guards and how they were equipped and how they are now.

Perfect little museum. I would have thought it was a bit more, but it was fine. Told the story of the unit in a simple and straightforward way. Suitable for all ages. Children will love the horses.
