Spend a memorable day immersed in royal tradition with this Royal Horses experience for two, combining visits to the Royal Mews and the Household Cavalry Museum, finished with a sparkling afternoon tea at the elegant Clermont Hotel. Located beside Buckingham Palace, the Royal Mews is the working transport hub of the monarchy. Here you will see the magnificent Windsor Grey and Cleveland Bay horses in their stables, explore the riding school and discover what life is like for the coachmen, stable staff and chauffeurs who live and work there. The stunning collection of historic coaches and carriages — including Landaus, Barouches and Broughams — is a true highlight. Your experience continues at the Household Cavalry Museum in Whitehall, where you can watch soldiers and horses at work in the original 18th-century stables and learn about centuries of military and ceremonial history. To complete your royal day out, enjoy a sparkling afternoon tea for two at the four-star Clermont Hotel, just a short walk away — a perfect blend of history, heritage and indulgence.
