The Royal Mews is deemed as one of the finest working stables anywhere in the world. It is also home to the royal collection of historic coaches and horse-drawn carriages, as well as the Cleveland Bays and Windsor Greys, the horses that draw the carriages. To this day, the stables are responsible for providing transportation services by road to His Majesty The King and other members of the Royal Family.

Since George III moved his carriage collection closer to Buckingham Palace in 1760, the Royal Mews has played a central role in the sovereign's road transport. It has been updated by monarchs through the ages in keeping with their changing transport needs. Highlights among the historic coaches and carriages on display include the spectacular Diamond Jubilee State Coach, and the centrally-heated Australian State Coach, given as a gift to Queen Elizabeth II from the Australian people.

The most striking of all is the Gold State Coach, which has been used at every coronation since 1821 and played a huge role in the Platinum Jubilee held in June 2023. Visitors to the Royal Mews can now interact and learn about its history, which includes the chance to step into a model of Queen Victoria's Semi-State Landau, dress up as a footman in a specially created livery, or even learn how to harness a horse!

The Royal Mews offers a complimentary multimedia guide for every visitor, perfect for learning the history of the Mews and its connection to the British monarchy. While the multimedia guide is 45 minutes long, visitors can stay back at the Royal Mews for longer to explore the working stable further at their own pace.

Note: The Royal Mews will be open from 19 May to 2 Oct 2023.

COVID Safety Information

  • Toilets and baby-care facilities are available in the middle of the visitor route, adjacent to the Gold State Coach House. Capacities are being managed with an enhanced cleaning regime in operation.
  • Pick up one of the free multimedia guides at the start of your visit. The multimedia guides and headphones are cleaned twice before you use them – once before distribution, and again on return. You are welcome to use your own standard wired headphones if you prefer.

Important Information

  • When you arrive, you will pass through an airport-style security check. Try to bring as little as possible with you as it will help you to get through security screening more quickly.
  • Just the same as if you were at an airport, please remove all metal objects from your pockets before going through the security arch and pack cameras, phones, keys, and wallets in your bag before placing the bag through the security scanner.
  • You may carry handbags and use pacemakers, hearing aids, and other electrical or electronic equipment needed for health reasons. Please approach a Warden if you have any concerns or require assistance.
  • Certain items such as large items of baggage, pen-knives, and scissors are not allowed to be brought into the Royal Mews as there are no cloakroom facilities available. Pushchairs are allowed.
  • Eating and drinking are not permitted at the Royal Mews. You will be asked to place drinks and food in closed bags before being admitted. Food and drink are not available for purchase at the Royal Mews but there are many cafes and restaurants in the local area.
  • Smoking, including electronic e-cigarettes is not permitted.
  • Photography and filming for non-commercial purposes are welcomed at the Royal Mews.
  • Mobile phones can be used, but with consideration for other visitors.
  • Breastfeeding is welcome anywhere within the Mews.
  • As Buckingham Palace is a working royal palace, security and opening arrangements may be subject to change at short notice.

Multimedia Guide

  • The multimedia guide is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Mandarin.
  • A guide for families, an audio descriptive tour for blind or partially-sighted visitors, and a video tour for D/deaf and hard of hearing visitors are also available.
