Household Cavalry Museum city breaks - ROME

Description

The Household Cavalry Museum, in the heart of Royal London at Horse Guards (official entrance to the Royal Residences) offers a truly enriching experience celebrating the history, heroes and exploits of the British Army’s senior regiment from its origins in 1661.

Fascinating rare exhibits, dazzling displays of uniforms, the chance to see (through a glass partition) troopers in the stables preparing their horses, the ability to try on real helmets and cuirasses, audio visual presentations, interactive displays, all combined with the opportunity to view outside either the daily Guard Change on Horse, the Guard Inspection or mounted sentry changes on the hour.

A London must-see presenting a uniquely British blend of pageantry, tradition and history.

Important note:

Please note that from Monday July 18th until Sunday 28th August inclusive, a stadium and volleyball pitch will be built on Horse Guards Parade as a test run for the London 2012 Olympics.

The Household Cavalry Museum will be open as usual during this period, but please be aware that access to Horse Guards Parade may be restricted and the entrance controlled by London Olympic Committee volunteers.
