Horse Guards Parade

The parade ground is a large open space with significant historical and ceremonial importance, primarily associated with royal guards and military events such as Trooping the Colour and Beating Retreat. It has also served as a venue for notable public events, including beach volleyball during the 2012 Summer Olympics, reflecting its versatility as a sports and event venue. The site is accessible to pedestrians and wheelchair users, supporting a range of cultural, military, and sporting activities throughout the year.
