The Household Cavalry Museum is a living museum about real people doing a real job in a real place.
You can see troopers working with horses in the original 18th century stables and hear first hand accounts of their rigorous and demanding training.
Historic setting
The Household Cavalry Museum sits within Horse Guards in Whitehall, central London, one of the city's most historic buildings. Dating from 1750, it is still the headquarters of the Household Division, in which the Household Cavalry has performed the Queen's Life Guard in a daily ceremony that has remained broadly unchanged for over 350 years.
The Household Cavalry
The Household Cavalry was formed in 1661 under the direct order of King Charles II and now consists of the two senior regiments of the British Army – The Life Guards and the Blues and Royals.
Daily Ceremony
The Changing of the Queen's Life Guard takes place daily on Horse Guards Parade at 11am.
The daily inspection takes place at 4pm.
