The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace is responsible for all road travel arrangements for the King and other members of the royal household, from horse and carriage to car.
It is home to the iconic 260-year-old Gold State Coach, used at occasions such as Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, the Platinum Jubilee in 2022 and the King’s coronation this year.
