With just two days in London we got our tourism on, heading to the Royal Mews. First built in 1377 the original purpose was to house the royal hawks. In 1534 it burned down and was rebuilt into the stables, expanded to what is here now in 1732. It was formerly called the King's Mews or Queen's Mews depending on who sat the throne, until finally they got tired of changing the sign and just went with Royal.
Here is where all the horses belonging to the royal family are housed and trained as well as all the royal carriages. In later years this also became where they kept royal vehicles.
