Product Info

— What to Expect —

The Royal Mews is one of the coolest parts of Buckingham Palace that people often overlook. It’s essentially the world’s most upscale garage and stable, housing the spectacular state vehicles used for everything from coronations to royal weddings. During your visit, you’ll get to wander through the historic stables and see the mix of ornate, horse-drawn carriages and sleek motor cars that keep the Royal Family moving during their biggest official events.

The real showstopper is the legendary Gold State Coach. It’s been a part of every coronation since George IV, and seeing it in person is the only way to truly appreciate its massive scale and intricate detail. You’ll also get a look at the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, which is a fascinating blend of old-school craftsmanship and 21st-century tech. It looks traditional on the outside, but it’s actually packed with modern comforts like electric windows, interior heating, and even a hidden camera in the roof's crown!

While you’re there, keep an eye out for the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays. These working horses are the ones you see on TV during major royal events, and the Mews is their official home. Just keep in mind that they have busy schedules, so they might be out on duty or taking a well-earned break in the countryside during your visit. It’s a great, relaxed way to get a "behind-the-scenes" look at the machinery and animals that make royal tradition possible.
