The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace Entrance Ticket
The Royal Mews is deemed as one of the finest working stables to have ever existed, and is a significant part of Lord Chamberlain’s Office.

The means include both motor car and horse-drawn carriages and the Royal Mews go far beyond just the aesthetic appeal. It is further the training area for Cleveland Bays and Windsor Greys, the two kinds of horses that draw the carriages.
Cast your eyes upon the historic coaches, such as the Australian State Coach that carried The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh to the Buckingham Palace from Westminster Abbey after the grand Royal Wedding of 2011.
