Located on the Prime Minister’s doorstep in central London, Horse Guards Parade provides an iconic location for the London 2012 Beach Volleyball competition.

Dating back to 1745, the parade ground takes its name from the soldiers who have provided protection for the monarch since the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. It lies at the heart of London’s ceremonial life and still hosts the Trooping of the Colour event that takes place on the Queen’s official birthday each year.
