Royal Horse Guards

The Royal Horse Guards is a historic building in the City of Westminster, London, between Whitehall and Horse Guards Parade. It was built in the mid-18th century as a barracks and stables for the Household Cavalry. The building serves as the entrance to St James's Park and is still ceremonially defended by the King's Life Guard. Visitors can explore the Household Cavalry Museum, which is open to the public and located within the building. The area is also home to several memorials, including the Royal Naval Division Memorial and the Viscount Wolseley Statue. Horse Guards Parade, the ceremonial parade ground, is nearby and hosts events such as Trooping the Colour and Beating Retreat
