Starting Thursday 30th May 2024

In the Stables Gallery, we have a viewing window into the working stables of the King’s Life Guard.

The gallery will be brought to life every Thursday, where a member of the Museum team will be giving a short 15 minute introductory welcome talk to the museum visitors.

In the talk, you will learn about the daily ceremonial routine of the Household Cavalry, how we care for the horses and the dual role as armoured reconnaissance soldiers.

Burning questions, our team will be on hand to try their best to answer them.

No booking required. Included in ticket price.

10am – 6pm, April to October / 10am – 5pm, November to March / Last admission 45 minutes before closing.

Important notice, If you are planning a trip to London in September:

Please note that between 2-24 September 2024, some of the King’s Life Guard Ceremonial duties will change.

There will be no horses at Horse Guards or 1100hrs Mounted Guard Change during this time. 

The soldiers will change from Mounted Review Order to Dismounted Review Order. Dismounted soldiers will still be seen daily in the Tilt Yard between 1000hrs and 1600hrs, with a dismounted Guard change ceremony taking place at 1100hrs and the traditional 1600 hrs parade. This is to allow essential infrastructure maintenance to take place.

The public will also continue to see the dismounted soldiers on duty at Horse Guards on a daily basis during this time.

This does mean that there will be no horses to see through our glass viewing window in the museum during this period but the museum will remain open.
