The Guards Museum

) military buffs, plus anyone who would like to find out about the role of Foot Guards through history. There is plenty to see such as collections of uniforms, medals, letters plus numerous photographs and other artefacts. There is a Museum Trail for children of all ages, with activities to complete as kids explore the museum.

There are drawings to colour, a quiz about objects hidden around the museum, plus missing letters games, which encourage kids to read the captions. The volunteers and staff are all very friendly and happy to answer any questions that the kids may have. It is worth watching the 5 minute introductory video when you arrive to get a better understanding of the different regiments and their uniforms, and also the layout of the museum.

The museum is perfect for a visit after watching the Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace: find out all about this aspect of the Guards' role.
