Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace - London

One of the finest working stables in existence, the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace is home to the royal collection of historic coaches and carriages. For a clue of what it's like to be a member of the Royal Family in London, take a look at how they get around London at the Royal Mews. Here you'll find ceremonial horse-drawn carriages and state vehicles all on display – and if you are lucky, you'll meet some of her magnificent horses in the Royal stables. Don't miss the huge, golden State Coach, it's straight off the pages of Cinderella!The most dazzling of all the coaches on display is the Gold State Coach, used as part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002.

For most of the year the stables are home to the working horses that play an important role in The Queen's official and ceremonial duties. They are mainly Cleveland Bays, the only British breed of carriage horse, and the Windsor greys, which by tradition always draw the carriage in which The Queen is travelling. As they may be on duty, undergoing training or having a well-deserved rest away from London, the horses are not always on view.
