Streamlined operations with a Royal seal of approval.
The Household Cavalry Museum sits within Horse Guards in Whitehall. It is the headquarters of the Household Division, consisting of the two senior regiments of the British Army – The Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. When the pandemic forced the museum to close its doors, it became imperative that the online experience be enhanced to drive more traffic to the online shop while also showcasing what the museum offers, ready for reopening to the public.
