Household Cavalry Museum

The Household Cavalry Museum opened in 2007 at the headquarters of the Queen's Life Guard. The Household Cavalry Museum offers you a unique "behind-the-scenes" look at the work that goes into the ceremonial duties and operational role of the Household Cavalry Regiments.

Horse Guards is one of London's most historic buildings so it's a real treat to go inside. It was designed to house soldiers and horses and is still used for these purposes. The arch formed by the building is the official entrance to the royal residences and is still guarded by two sentries on horses and two sentries on foot. It's a classic London photo opportunity to have your photo taken with one of them. (Always say thank you, as these gentlemen are working.)
