‘Mews’ once meant royal falcon sheds; when the hawks moved out and horses moved in, the name stuck.
The Gold State Coach needs eight horses and moves at walking pace—the leather-strap suspension makes for a rolling, sea-voyage feel inside.
The Diamond Jubilee State Coach hides modern tech—air-con, electric windows and hydraulic suspension—beneath a traditional body.
Your ticket can be upgraded to a 1-Year Pass, so one visit can become a year of drop-ins when different vehicles are on show.
