Lonely Planet review

South of the palace, the Royal Mews started life as a falconry but is now a working stable looking after the royals' immaculately groomed horses, along with the opulent vehicles the monarchy uses for getting from A to B. Highlights include the stunning gold coach of 1762, which has been used for every coronation since that of George III, and the Glass Coach of 1910, used for royal weddings.

The Mews is closed in June during the four-day racing carnival of Royal Ascot, when the royal heads try to win a few bob on the gee-gees.
