The Household Cavalry Museum

About

The Household Cavalry Museum, housed in the historic Horse Guards building in London’s ceremonial heart, offers visitors an immersive journey into Britain’s royal guard. The museum showcases uniforms, weaponry and the storied traditions of the Life Guards and Blues and Royals, accompanied by interactive displays and a rare window into the daily care of the King’s horses. From the opening of the stable window, visitors get a front‑row view of battlers tending the horses before the daily Change of Guard. The museum’s audio‑visual guides, included with admission, are available in multiple languages, ensuring a truly accessible experience for all guests. Daily ceremonies – the King’s Life Guard and the 4 pm Inspection – give the museum a living‑museum feel, drawing crowds especially on weekends and during the summer, but the museum’s rich exhibitions and educational programs cater to visitors of all ages.
