Home to the Royal Stables. We got to see 2 of the horses that are part of the Royal Stable. Many carriages and the first car that was ordered for the Royals. The State Carriage is noticiable on tv, but in person - WOW!

We decided to visit the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace for our oldest daughter. She is a horse riders and it was something for her to see. We got more than just horses. In fact there were very few horses in residence when we visited. As there was a fairly famous race happening - Ascot and there were only two... More

We were on a visit to London - a party of 92 Brownies and their adult leaders. On a Sunday in September. Our theatre show didnt start until 3pm, but as we came all the way from Portsmouth we thought we should do something else while in London. Another adult leader suggested this as a place to visit. The cost... More

If you find yourself near Buckingham Palace, and want to fill an hour or two before the changing of the guard, I'd highly recommend stopping in at the Royal Mews. I don't think it ever gets all that busy, but get there early and take a tour with the guide for the best experience, and if you feel that you're... More

Interesting mix of horses, carriages and cars - near to Buckingham Palace and next to the Queen's Gallery. So good location and interesting place. Really enjoyed seeing the different carriages up close after seeing a number of them on TV over the years or going down the Mall

If you like to see a few stables, 2 horses, carriages and the "golden" carriage, you should spend 8,5 £ on a 15 min tour. If not, stay out.

We stayed across the street at the Rubens so we decided to go in. There were two horses and a few carriages which were nice, one car and the Coronation carriage which is beautiful. Given the price, it was a quick tour and we found it somewhat boring.

The Mews are really interesting and well worth a visit. Great to see the coaches up close. The gold state coach is particularly magnificent but they're all impressive.

This is a very worthwhile visit although a little expensive (you can buy a combined ticket with the Queen's Gallery ) excellent children's audio guide. The carriages were stunning and all the tack too , but when we were there there weren't many horses in the stable . I don't know if there is any way of checking beforehand .... More

The carriages; you have to see these- all of them. They are beautiful and the audio tour is great (mine didn't work but my husband loved it). Take your time and read and watch everything....it is well worth it.
