some talk of alexander, right? Great place climbed though a window, so they had no lights on. An odd Wellington guy told me to go down to see some Royal wagon thingy. Gave me a ride to Westminster bridge but, with problems. I would so come back if the Fiendish men eaters were not there.
Awesome place to visit you can see the mounted horse men can’t get very, very busy due to a tourist destination. I would advise getting there early in the morning where you can have a unobstructive views of a Horseman.
A fairly small museum just off Horseguards Parade but full of information about the Household Calvary, and lots of uniforms. Also has a small shop. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and have an hour to kill.
A fantastic historical site where one can enjoy watching the mounted guards in their traditional uniforms and experience a piece of British royal history. Depending on the day, you may get the opportunity to attend the Guards Parade which was my case. Right next to this site there's anourmous and fascinating garden /park that gets you access to the Buckingham Palace
This little gem of a museum is well worth a visit and for a reasonable fee. The docent is delightful. Visitors have the opportunity to also learn about the horses: origin, breed, care, etc. A unique feature of this museum is the opportunity to see directly into the horse stalls used by the King’s Life Guard - the very ones who stand guard at the gates on Whitehall. There’s a gift shop, too.
