WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

And you never knew it existed. This is a living museum in the heart of Horse Guards, Whitehall. The headquarters of the Household Cavalry has remained broadly the same for 350 years. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the work that goes on there. This is a living museum with real people who do a real job.

Through a glazed partition, you will see the troopers working with the horses in the original 18th century stables. The experience includes compelling personal stories and first-hand accounts of the training that goes on. You will be able to try on a replica of the iconic red jackets, and learn about the uniforms. What are they made of? To braid or not to braid?

It is not that simple to dress like a Cavalryman.

The museum is filled with unique treasures from ceremonial uniforms to silverware by Fabergé. It's a small museum, you will probably go round it in an hour, but it's a real privilege to get up close and personal with the King's bodyguard.

TELL ME MORE

Now it's time for a leisurely stroll along The Mall to The Royal Horseguards Hotel.

Perched on the banks of the Thames, this is the perfect spot for a traditional afternoon tea. Finger sandwiches, scones and a tier of mini cakes are served in an atmosphere of Victorian elegance. The hotel itself is steeped in history and has been used in over twenty films, unsurprisingly most have been spy dramas. The club apartments were used by the first chief of the British Intelligence Service, and the restaurant is called 'Whitehall 1212' after a world-famous telephone number.

Scotland Yard's, in case you didn't know.

A special day out for Londoners as well as out-of-towners.
