Horse Guards Parade
Horse Guards Parade is the ceremonial parade ground in St James’s Park and has been the site of many important national events, from the Trooping of the Colour to Olympic beach volleyball matches.
The parade ground is surrounded by beautiful buildings, including the magnificent Horse Guards Building. The building is guarded by two cavalry troopers of the King’s Life Guard who are posted outside from 10 am to 4 pm each day. The Life Guard change takes place here at 11:00 am daily and 10:00 am on Sundays.
