What you'll do
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, as well as 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, it has been updated by several monarchs in keeping with their changing transport needs.
Among the historic coaches and carriages on display are the spectacular Diamond Jubilee State Coach, and the Australian State Coach, which was given to Queen Elizabeth II as a gift from the Australian people. The most dazzling of all is the Gold State Coach, however, which has been used at every coronation since that of George IV in 1821, and which played a central role in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.

Facts
The Windsor Grey horses, used to pull the royal carriages, are so-called because they were kept at Windsor during Queen Victoria’s reign.
Cleveland Bays, another type of horse used to pull the carriages, are one of the oldest breeds of horses in the UK.
The Royal stables were originally located in Charing Cross, where the National Gallery is today.
Queen Victoria took full advantage of the ample space at the Royal Mews. She kept up to 200 horses there at one point and also set up a school for the children of its employees.
The Gold State Coach weighs almost four tonnes and needs eight horses to draw it. It never moves faster than walking speed.
