Many of the horses were out being used in the Diamond Jubilee but this was still a quick and fun tour. The Royal carriages are worth looking at alone. More

We loved our visit to the Royal Mews. We recommend the family audio tour, it is a lot of fun with short quizzes. Kept us all entertained. It was fantastic to se the carriages up close in real life. A working museum, the fresh smell of horse manure keeps the place alive. More

Lovely piece of history. Enjoyed seeing the horses, royal coaches and liveries. Shown round by one of the staff who shared lots of interesting background. More

Visited 1/4/12 in the afternoon with my daughter. We both enjoyed the visit and just seeing the coronation carriage made the visit worthwhile, what a beautiful carriage. The splendour of the carriages are there to see but the highlight are the horses. They are so magnificently groomed and appear very switched on when you speak to them,their ears constantly twitching... More

We had been to many London attractions before but not the Royal Mews. It was interesting to meet some of the horses and see the royal carriages used on state occasions. Sorry we did not get there earlier so we could have seen the horse practice. More

This was more than we thought--great to see all the different carriages, the Bentley, to be in a working stable, etc. Audio tour was excellent, although we got a bit off track at one spot! More

The Royal Mews is a very interesting place to visit, and shouldn't take more than an hour. We saw the rolls royce that transported Kate Middleton to her wedding along with the glass coach which was used by the Queen Mother, the Queen, Princess Anne and Lady Diana Spencer for their respective weddings. There were other very impressive coaches including... More
