    It was nice seeing the different carriages but I thought we would see more horses.
  • Royal transportation

    The Royal Mews is deemed as one of the finest working stables anywhere in the world. During this tour, you'll get to see the royal coaches like the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, the most modern of the carriages used during King Charles III’s coronation in 2023, and the Gold State Coach, used at most coronations since that of William IV in 1821, as well as the gorgeous horses - the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays.

    Experience royalty for a day

    Enjoy a truly immersive experience by dressing up as a footman as you explore the livery worn by the King’s coachmen, each different as per the occasion. Step into a model of Queen Victoria's Semi-State Landau and practise your royal wave! Tack up a wooden horse with the leather harnesses that connect them to the carriages, and learn the history of the Mews from your complimentary multimedia guide. By upgrading your tickets, you can see the centuries-old Changing the Guard ceremony and go on a small-group guided walking tour of the city of Westminster where you’ll see sights like Clarence House, St. James Palace, and The Mall.
