Hi, thanks for your question.
The minimum height to join the British Army is 148cm (4 ft 10 inches). For some particular trades that involve driving you must be 158 cm (5 ft 2 inches), but there is no specific further height restriction to join the Guards.
I hope that helps - you can find information about how to apply online to start the process to join here: https://apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join
