When I came across The Guards Museum, I was genuinely impressed. It’s a real treasure for history lovers; the stories shared, the military artifacts on display, and the overall atmosphere make you feel like you’re touching the past. Walking through it felt like a journey back in time, and the staff were really friendly and eager to share knowledge. If you’re interested in London’s military history, I definitely recommend checking this place out.

We attended the Family Fun on Chapel Square event at The Guards Museum and had a really enjoyable day! It was a guard-themed adventure with lots for kids to do. There was a small play area, crafts, a live band, and we also got to watch the parade and visit the chapel. We even lit a candle and made a small donation, which made the visit feel extra meaningful. The highlight for my daughter was getting to try on the guard’s uniform – such a special experience and definitely a core memory for her! The staff were welcoming, and the atmosphere was family-friendly. The only downside was that, despite booking in advance, it seemed many tourists who hadn’t booked also joined in (probably because of the summer holidays). Luckily, that didn’t affect our fun. A small note for families: there are no toilets onsite – you’ll need to use the ones in St James’s Park or nearby at a pub near St James station. Overall, a fun and memorable experience for kids and families! 👑🎶🎨
