The Royal Mews is a unique part of Britain's heritage. Built in the
gardens of Buckingham Palace between 1822 and 1825, it remains home to
many of the carriages and cars used to transport the Royal Family to
this day. The Mews is also responsible for the training of the famous
Windsor Greys and Bays, the horses that pull the royal carriages, and
for the care and upkeep of historic harness and liveries. Visitors to
the Mews can view carriages including the 1902 State Landau, most
recently seen during the wedding of HRH Prince William and Catherine
Middleton, the magnificent Gold State Coach, recognized worldwide for
its role in The Queen's Coronation and Jubilee celebrations, and the
royal fleet of specially adapted limousines, cared for as carefully as
the horses. With over 80 illustrations, this new souvenir provides a
fascinating glimpse into the working life of the Royal Mews.
