    About

    We are a regimental museum about the Household Cavalry. In our museum we have objects dating back from the formation of the cavalry in the 17th century. Our museum offers a variety of different learning mediums, including videos, interactive screens and trails for children and families. The second gallery in the museum is part of the original 18th century stables. In this gallery, visitors can try on some of the uniforms of a Cavalry soldier and see the horses through a window looking into military stables. Visitors are encouraged watch the 11 o'clock Guard Change (on days where there is Guard Change) or the 11 o'clock inspection (on days when there is no full Guard Change). Afterwards, if visitors have not finished going around the museum, they can come back in to finish it.

    What a fantastic place!! Level access throughout with cobble stone flooring. The accessible toilet is slightly awkward to get into as there is a tight corner to negotiate, to make it easier the door has a button to open the door automatically. A relatively small museum tucked just off horse guard parade it has so much to offer. Plenty of interesting things to see, and for the children there was uniform jackets they could try on. There was a large window panel where you can see directly into the stables with the stunning horses and if you time it right you can see the changing of the guard.

    Brilliant 'living' Museum!

    Loved this place! Great to see and hear about the Household Cavalry throughout the ages and best bits definitely trying uniform on and seeing the horses in their actual real stables.
