Wellington Barracks

Wellington Barracks is a military barracks in the City of Westminster for the Foot Guards units on public duties in that area. The building is located about 300 yards (270 m) from Buckingham Palace, allowing the Guards to reach the palace quickly in an emergency, and lies between Birdcage Walk and Petty France. Five companies are based at the barracks, as well as the Foot Guards bands and regimental headquarters.
