Household Cavalry Museum

The Household Cavalry are world famous as HM The Queen’s mounted bodyguard and are recognisable worldwide. The sentries at Horse Guards have guarded the entrance to the Royal Residences since 1660, and our Museum offers the public a chance to look into their working stables through our Stables Gallery window, try on real uniforms, and learn what it takes to protect the Monarch at home and abroad.

 

Now, for the first time, we reach out into our network to bring you the best in literary recommendations. Be they books that share our history, have helped us become who we are, or support us in heading towards where we want to go, these recommendations come straight from us to you.
