This small museum looks at the roles and work of the two regiments of the Queen's Household Cavalry, the Life Guard and the Blues & Royals. The tour is by handheld multimedia guide, and there is much emphasis on the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. A highlight of the visit is watching troopers attending to their steeds through a large glass screen giving on to the stables.
