Horse Guards Parade is the setting for various military ceremonies throughout the year. It was the traditional entrance to the Royal Palaces and is still guarded by mounted sentries from the Queen's Household Cavalry.
The Changing of the Guard takes place here every morning at the following times:
11:00 Mon-Sat
10:00 Sun
It is at this time that twelve mounted troops in traditional costume arrive from their Hyde Park Barracks. |
