  The Royal Mews lie behind Buckingham Palace, a hidden village of stables, workshops, homes, offices and garages. This is the part of the Royal Household responsible for ground transport for Her Majesty the Queen and members of the Royal Family, which means, above all, horses and carriages. Despite modernisation the Mews is a community that thrives on customs and traditions handed down over nine reigns. This book offers an opportunity to visit the Mews. Here is an account of the carriages, horses, harness, livery and cars.
