“Household Cavalry Museum Visit”
What a real, right treasure of a museum, right here in the heart of London! Packed full of the history surrounding the Household Cavalry Museum, very easy to follow & informative audio available too. And, you can actually view some of the cavalry horses, behind a floor-to-ceiling screen wall. All in all, the visit took about 1 hour - and the end of our visit also coincided with the Changing of the Queen's Life Guard ceremony at 1 pm, in the nearby Horse Guards Parade grounds. A wonderful visit!

“Cavalry”
Very much enjoyed the visit. Best to take the earphone set for more information as you are walking around. It takes longer than you think to do this place justice, so allow plenty of time.
