Housed within the 18th century Horse Guards, hidden between Whitehall and St James's Park, lies the Household Cavalry Museum. This historic building, built in 1745 and previously a King’s Guard headquarters, offers an insightful journey into the training and history of the British Army's iconic cavalry. The museum is said to have been the stage for crucial battles and events, as well as pleas made to King George III himself. Today, visitors can explore the stables, once the home of the horses that carried the King's Guard, and learn about the building's abundant history.
