Horseguards, London
Horse Guards fronts Horse Guards Parade, the vast parade ground where the Queen takes the salute at the Trooping of The Colour ceremony on her official birthday. The building was designed by William Kent, the then Chief Architect to George II.
House Guards is constantly guarded by troopers of the Household Cavalry. Two mounted cavalry troopers are posted outside daily from 10 am to 4 pm, and are relieved every hour.
Every day, visitors can see the changing of the Horse Guards at 11am from Monday to Saturday and at 11am on Sundays. This is free.
This is a different event from the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace.
