Brilliant. Lovely staff. So clean and tidy and the display cabinets are light and easy to read. They are packed with extraordinary items that hold an interest to anyone with the slightest bit of interest in history. This is specific to the Guards but the broad aspect of their life will keep you interested throughout.
The Guards Museum is a very nice surprise. We visited it as a couple this morning, just after watching the changing of the guard, which makes the experience even more immersive. The price is really very affordable considering the quality of the visit. In addition, the audio guide is free, available in many languages and very easy to understand. The staff is also a real strength: people on site are very attentive, available and ready to answer questions. A rewarding and pleasant visit that we recommend without hesitation!
As hubby is ex army he was keen to visit here during a day in the city. Volunteer on duty ( Chelsea Pensioner) and the staff member were a font of knowledge. Activities for children , trying on uniforms and colouring to keep them amused. A small but great attraction. No toilets on site. Close T on St James Park Tube.
A nice little museum that is well organised with lots to see. The only problem is they don't have toilets for customers. Apart from that it is reasonably priced and still worth a visit.
On our walk to Buckingham Palace, my friend and I'd noticed the Guards Museum, but didn’t have time to squeeze it into our sightseeing plans that day. A few days later we came back specifically to visit, and we were glad we made the effort. The museum gave us a much deeper appreciation for the Guards, going beyond their iconic image at the palace to reveal their traditions and long history. The friendly staff and the informative audio guide made the experience even better, and the souvenir shop had some lovely items to take home with us. With its convenient location, just a short walk from public transport, the Guards Museum is a delightful and worthwhile stop for those wanting to learn more about these famous foot guards.
