The Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Royal Mews to see vehicles; they come to witness the living, breathing machinery of British pomp and ceremony. You can smell the hay and hear the soft shuffle of hooves from the magnificent Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays in their stables. The undeniable star is the Gold State Coach, a gilded, fairy-tale confection from 1762 that seems almost too fantastical to have ever rolled on actual roads. It’s a place where history feels immediate, not locked away behind glass.
Collection Highlights
The breathtaking Gold State Coach, used for every coronation since 1821; the more modern Diamond Jubilee State Coach; and the fleet of immaculate royal limousines and carriages still in active use today.
Visitor Information
It's located right on the Buckingham Palace grounds, so it's easy to combine with a visit to see the Changing the Guard. Just check their seasonal opening times online before you go.
