Visit Royal Mews

Open daily, from 28 March to 31 October 2009

Witness the Royal Household in action as you wander around Buckingham Palace’s gloriously elegant and vibrant Royal Mews.

One of the world’s finest working stables this is the thriving central London home of the carriages and horses used by the Queen and the Royal Family for State and ceremonial occasions.

Feeding, exercising, mucking out and training of the horses all take place throughout the day as do some of the more unusual tasks appointed to the Mews staff.

Every day an elegant brougham carriage sets out from the Mews to collect and deliver post between Royal households, a tradition that dates back to 1843. It’s also the duty of staff to collect newly appointed foreign ambassadors from their official residence and convey them in a carriage to Buckingham Palace for an audience with the Queen.

For much of the year the stables are also home to the 30 Windsor Grey and Cleveland Bay horses who serve the Queen on official duty when required. Visitors can also see a State motor vehicle, the Gold State Coach which is used for Coronations, the Glass Coach used for Royal Weddings, and the Irish State Coach State used for the Opening of Parliament. Also on display are barouches, chaise, wagonettes, phaetons and even sleighs.


Did You Know?

The breathtaking Gold State Coach takes eight horses to pull it, weighs four tons, and has been used for every coronation since that of George IV.
