Absolutely loved visiting this museum. When we visited, the entrance was free. The staff was extremely nice and we got a little tour as soon as we walked in and we learned so much. We ended up buying some soldier fans for £2 and used them throughout the whole day since it was so hot. Wonderful experience!

A wonderful little museum with all of the history of the Guards. If it's not there you don't need to know it. Lots of interesting artefacts from the Crimea to Afghan. Well worth a visit. Nulli secundus.

Great value for £8. Loads to see and interesting, even for those not specifically interested in this subject. Welcoming staff too. A good way to spend two hours of your time!

Very interesting Museum. It's close to the Buckingham Palace, and you can learn a lot about the Guards. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

My wife and I did not actually went in the museum to visit but was lucky enough to able to saw and film the processions of the group of guards in the morning about 9:00AM!I think they are Palace guards but not in the palace guards uniform but no less impressive!It was very nice and fun to watch! And maybe next time we will go inside the Guard museum to visit!

With family interests in the Grenadier Guards, this is the best place to learn more of specific details of their history. For tourists, it is ideally placed to add background of the Guards they might have seen in and around Buckingham Palace.

Excellent Central London museum, fascinating history but I will have to return as I hadn't left myself enough time to do it justice. Most of the exhibits are displayed behind glass but the lighting is some of the best I have seen and as a result you can take photos without any glare or reflection spoiling the pictures. Very impressed.

If you have ever wanted to find out more about those guys in red with the fuzzy hats this is the place to go. The history and details of the grenadier guards is truly amazing and it's all laid out here in display cases filled with military items dating back many many decades.The displays are a bit basic in presentation and a little bit old fashioned, but for the price it's great.They even have some items worn by the late Queen Elizabeth II , as she was technically the boss of this regiment.If you are going to see the Mall and Buckingham palace, it's well worth going round the corner and visiting this awesome little museum.
