Horse Guards Parade

The Royal Cavalry Guards Parade is the venue for a major London ceremony. Every year, the Queen's birthday, the honor guard is paraded here, dressed in red robes, and the majestic cavalry make up a landscape here. At the parade, the flags (various royal armies and bands) will step over the cavalry guard and display their uniforms and banners.

One summer weekend, we came to this attraction to introduce our American friends to the reasons why the cavalry guards formed and what activities are held each year, an impressive and iconic location worth seeing.

Located next to Whitehall, not far from Big Ben and the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street. You can see it on the bustling main road. Cavalry guards in shiny armor and red uniforms stand guard at the gate. Tourists can take photos without offending the guards. Sometimes you can encounter a changing ceremony, which is relatively simple, but the soldiers are also meticulously completed. Crossing the white building on the street, the back suddenly bright, a large sandy ground, is the school field, that is, the cavalry parade ground. These are free visits. If you want to see the museum, Ma Ping, it seems to have to charge extra.

Don't miss this while in London , you won't regret making time for this tour 🥰

It is incomplete to go to London without seeing the changing of the cavalry guard. We were lucky to pass the area before 10am on Sunday and were honoured to see this wonderful traditional ceremony. Not to be missed!

After leaving Buckingham Palace, we walked through James's Park to the Royal Knights Parade, a vast earthy and sandy surface that is rarely seen in an international metropolis. It happened to be the change of guard of the Royal Order every day at 15pm, so in the crowd we watched the simple change of guard ceremony. It was the first time we saw the change of guard of the cavalry, but the whole performance was relatively simple.
