The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace
What your day looks like
The Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace - The Royal Mews is one of the finest working stables anywhere in the world and home to the royal collection of historic coaches and carriages, and the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, the horses that pull the carriages. To this day, the stables are still responsible for all road travel arrangements for His Majesty The King and other members of the Royal Family. The Royal Mews has been the location of the sovereign’s road transport since 1760, when George III moved his carriage collection closer to his new home at Buckingham Palace. Since then, several monarchs have updated it to meet their changing transport needs. See the state coach used for coronations for more than 200 years, along with various horse-drawn carriages and motor cars, used for coronations, state visits, royal weddings, the state opening of Parliament and official engagements. For most of the year, the stables are home to the working horses that play an essential role in The Queen's official and ceremonial duties. In addition to a complimentary multimedia guide for every visitor, the Royal Mews offers regular guided tours on which visitors can learn about the Mews' history and association with the British monarchy.
