London Guards Spotlight

Join us for a special day of activities and a chance to meet and engage with the soldiers of London’s very own infantry reserve battalion.

The London Guards comprises reserve companies of the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots and Irish Guards. Formed in 2022, it's the only Army Reserve battalion to combine ceremonial duties with a year-round operational infantry role.

Meet serving members of the unit and take part in exciting activities, including a night-vision experience. You can also witness a recreation of Lady Butler’s ‘The Roll Call’ – one of the most iconic paintings of Victorian-era Guards – which is currently on display at the Museum on loan from the Royal Collection.

Lieutenant Colonel Russell Lewis MC, commanding officer of the London Guards, will be reflecting on his military career and sharing his experiences of leadership.
