      • From the 1710s until 1842 the Admiralty Canal flowed where the boulevard is now.
      • The name comes from the riding hall and barracks of the Horse Guards regiment and has been known since 1842.
      • The columns with "Victories" at the start of the boulevard were a gift from the Prussian king Frederick William IV to Nicholas I; Rauch's originals stand in Berlin.
      • In 1918 the boulevard was renamed Professional Unions Boulevard, after the Palace of Labour.
      • From 1907 to 1997 a tram ran along the odd-numbered side of the boulevard.
