The Royal Mews is a mews, or collection of equestrian stables, of the British Royal Family. In London these stables and stable-hands quarters have occupied two main sites in turn, being located at first on the north side of Charing Cross, and then (since the 1820s) within the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
The Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace includes an extensive display of royal carriages and other associated items, and is open to the public for much of the year. It is also a working part of the palace, where horses and people live and work, and where carriages and cars are in daily use supporting the work of the Queen as head of state.

Interesting display of Royal carriages and their history. Part of a joint ticket for the Royal Picture Gallery too. This was better than I had expected.

Great to check the coaches and horses. Excellent for kids. Doesn't worth it check it you have limit time in London but for those with more time is a great option.

Interesting stables and coaches with free audio guide. Mostly outdoors. Diamond jubilee coach was a highlight as well as saying hi to the horses. Force you to go through the gift shop. Cost £11 in Feb 2018

Beautiful carriages gold coach used for royal weddings coronations etc .many more ornate and wonderful coaches and some cars.well worth the visit.

An amazing experience! Not sure it is worth the £11 per adult (horses aren't cheap to up keep!) but it is certainly worth a visit to see the horse carriages/coaches. Not something most of us see up close! The hand crafted detail is phenomenal to say the least. You get to see one or two of the horses too and the old stables etc. Interesting reading info as you walk round and through. See one of the old cars too that is used by Royals still.

Very nice place and a lot of interesting things you can hear about the place and usage of carriages till nowadays. Well organised and very nice guide tours. I had nice chat with people working there and for sure I will visit again.

Lovely visit, an oasis of calm in central London. Great look at all the carriages and some horses to see. Excellent audio guide. Staff friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it.

Unassuming from the doorway, the Mews should be a must stop for those interested in the history of the Royal tradition in transportation - or lovers of anything equestrian! The audio tour is perfect to learn about the history. Much is outdoors, but under cover of the news roofline. A very interesting stop in London. The gift shop also has some great items not seen elsewhere.

Nice museum. Impressive coaches. Very good tour guide from a free tour. Not very expensive but neither takes too much time. In 45 minutes to an hour you have seen all. But lot of nice background information and for us an addition to the trip.

Excellent guides, super for children and very accommodating staff. Good value when you can convert your entry ticket to a yearly pass without any additional cost. The only negative is that you have no way if knowing if/ when which horses will be present.

More interesting than I anticipated. Worth the visit. Great collection of carriages used throughout the years. Next door to the art gallery

The Royal Mews gets ignored due to overwhelming focus on next door Buckingham palace. Yet I strongly recommend you to pay a visit to enjoy up close the Royal transport options.. beautiful carriages and vintage cars. This part of the visit is very easy to explore within a hour or so and is just a stone's throw from the palace. The shop is having some great authentic options and the Royal Mews staff(mostly women) were very courteous and eager to help. Kids would love this visit. Great for pics too. Go for it

The royal mews is a very interesting place to visit. All the horses over there are gentle and in there stables. There are allot of things to do. The art section is incredible. It has lots of things to do. In my opinion the royal mews is a great place...

It was very very interesting. There is such a lot of work goes into keeping the horses, carriages and uniforms up to perfection. The horses are looked after so well. Keeping all the pageantry of the great British tradition alive.

Quite interesting. Great to see all the ceremonial coaches. Only got to see two horses unfortunately due to the rest of them being on holiday at Hampton Court.
