The Royal Mews, Buckingham Palace - The Royal Mews is one of the finest working stables anywhere in the world and home to the royal collection of historic coaches and carriages, and the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, the horses that pull the carriages. To this day, the stables are still responsible for all road travel arrangements for His Majesty The King and other members of the Royal Family. The Royal Mews has been the location of the sovereign’s road transport since 1760, when George III moved his carriage collection closer to his new home at Buckingham Palace – since then, it has been updated by several monarchs in keeping with their changing transport needs.
