The Royal Mews Ticket
Description
The Royal Mews, the Royal Stables of Buckingham Palace, are part of an important equestrian complex that houses the vehicles and carriages used by the British Royal Family. The horse-drawn carriages are used for special events such as state visits, royal weddings, the State Opening of Parliament, and other official engagements.
With your ticket to The Royal Mews, you can admire these luxurious royal carriages at your leisure. Undoubtedly, one of the most famous pieces of the collection is the Gold State Coach, a 260-year-old carriage used in events such as the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 and the platinum jubilee of the monarch in 2022.
You'll also get to see the stables of the horses that pull the carriages. Particularly noteworthy are the Cleveland Bay and Windsor Grey breeds. Please note that during your visit, the horses may be on duty, training, or enjoying a well-deserved rest outside London, so they may not be in sight.
Your ticket for The Royal Mews also includes an audio guide in English that, for 45 minutes, will guide you through the main corners of the Royal Stables. During your visit, you can also ask any questions to the equestrian center staff, who will assist you in English.
Opening Hours
The Royal Mews is open from 10 am to 5 pm. You must come at the time you select when you book. Please note that the last allowed access is at 4 pm.
