The Guards Museum covers the history of the five regiments of Foot Guards - not the household cavalry. These regiments are the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards. The period spans time from 1642 to the present day.
The displays present the history by means of Uniforms, Colours, Weapons and more importantly, the personal relics and memorabilia of the soldiers who have served in these famous regiments in peace and war. Includes over thirty Victoria Cross medal groups.
Guided tours by appointment only. Extensive souvenir shop with huge toy soldier retailer. Antique and modern makers. Also 350th anniversary exhibition of the formation of The Grenadier Guards.
