Home to the incredible State vehicles used for iconic royal occasions including coronations
See the exquisite horse-drawn carriages and motor cars
Explore the stables home to the working horses
Soak in sights of the extra special Diamond Jubilee State Coach
State Vehicles Used by the Royal Family
The Royal Mews houses the spectacular State vehicles that are used for coronations, State Visits, royal weddings, the State Opening of Parliament and official engagements. You’ll see ornate horse-drawn carriages and sleek motor cars during the visit, a particular highlight being the historic Gold State Coach. This coach has been used at every coronation from George IV on wards, and was the vehicle of choice for the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002!
Stables Home to Working Royal Horses
The Cleveland Bays are the only British breed of carriage horse, and these working horses play an important role in the King’s official and ceremonial duties. The horses are based at Royal Mews, along with the Windsor Grey breed that also pulls the royal carriages. Please be aware that during your visit the horses may be on duty, undergoing training or having a well-deserved rest away from London, so they might not be on view.
Diamond Jubilee State Coach
The Diamond Jubilee State Coach was unveiled during the State Opening of Parliament in 2014. Built to celebrate The Queens Diamond Jubilee in 2012, it is only the second coach to be built for the Royal Household in over a century and has successfully combined traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The State Coach measures five-and-a-half metres long, over three metres high and weighs over three tonnes.Contained within the coach is a Thousand Years of British History with artefacts from The Mary Rose and the gun metal used for Victoria Crosses. On the roof of The Diamond Jubilee State Coach is a carved Imperial Crown created from specially selected oak from Admiral Lord Nelsons ship HMS Victory. Another unique quality is that the crown was hollowed allowing for the installation of a small camera to film the crowds lining the route. Other modern conveniences such as electric windows, interior lighting and heating can all be controlled via an interior hand panel concealed in the teak armrests.
The Diamond Jubilee State Coach is now on permanent display at the Royal Mews.

Buena relación precio calidad. La caminata hasta State valió cada paso. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Hubo un rato muerto en el medio que se podría aprovechar mejor.

Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Terminar en Cleveland Bays fue el mejor cierre. El paso por British nos gustó mucho. Se puede ir tranquilo con gente mayor, todo muy cómodo. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Cannot recommend enough
Absolutely worth every penny. The British Rome area at night is something else. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. The guide answered even the oddest questions with real detail. Everything ran on time and was well organised. If we come back to Londres, we will do it again.

Happy with it, even if not everything was perfect. The guide knew a lot, though it was sometimes hard to hear over the street noise. Skydeck Londres blew us away, we were not expecting that. Drinks at the venue are wildly overpriced.

We booked this on a whim and it ended up being our favourite day. For what is included, the price is more than fair. Far less stressful than haggling for a taxi outside the airport. They dropped us at Estado with no detours. If only every tour were run like this.
