Horse Guards

Built on the site of the Guard House of the old Whitehall Palace which burned down in 1698, the mid-18th century building of the Horse Guards is now used as the official headquarters of two London regiments. Its imposing archway is guarded by members of the Household Cavalry, including mounted guards. Marking the space between the building and the start of the Mall is the Horse Guards Parade. Here, the annual Trooping of the Colour takes place to commemorate the monarch's birthday, but back in Henry VIII's time, it was used for tournaments. After visiting the Horse Guards it is worth taking in the view from the parade grounds up the Mall and observing the approach to Buckingham Palace, where the Changing of the Guard also happens. Other iconic sights in the area include Trafalgar Square and Downing Street.
