Wellington Barracks, Military barracks in Westminster, England
The Wellington Barracks complex stretches between Birdcage Walk and Petty France, featuring classical architectural elements and a central parade ground.
Architects Sir Francis Smith and Philip Hardwick completed the construction of Wellington Barracks in 1833 to house the Foot Guards battalions near Buckingham Palace.
The Guards Museum within the barracks contains an extensive collection of military uniforms, colors, and artifacts documenting three centuries of Foot Guards history.
The barracks maintain modern facilities including a gymnasium with squash courts, a self-service restaurant, and a shop for the resident military personnel.
The Flanders Fields Memorial Garden stands next to the Guards Chapel, which was reconstructed after destruction by a V-1 flying bomb during World War II.
