The House Guards - London - Built in 1745 to house the guards of the old royal palace at Whitehall, the Horse Guards building is today used as a base from where the Queen's Foot Guards and Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (a union of the Army's two oldest regiments The Life Guards and the Blues and Royals) perform ceremonial duties.
