Visitors to London who enjoyed all the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royal wedding last year should ensure the Royal Mews is on their itinerary while in the capital.

Located at the magnificent Buckingham Palace, the Royal Mews is one of the finest working stables in existence, and visitors will get a unique insight into the department of the Royal Household that provides transport for the Queen and her family.

The Royal Mews is home to the State vehicles, which include horse-drawn carriages and motor cars utilised for coronations, State visits, royal weddings, the State opening of Parliament and official engagements.

One highlight of the collection is the Gold State Coach which was last seen in public during the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002.

The stables are also home to the majestic working horses that play a central role in the Queen's official and ceremonial duties - making the attraction an ideal one to visit for animal lovers.
