Royal Mews
The Royal Mews is one of the finest working stables anywhere in the world and home to the royal collection of historic coaches and carriages, and the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, the horses that pull the carriages. To this day, the stables are still responsible for all road travel arrangements for His Majesty The King and other members of the Royal Family. The Royal Mews has been the location of the sovereign’s road transport since 1760 when George III moved his carriage collection closer to his new home at Buckingham Palace – since then it has been updated by several monarchs in keeping with their changing transport needs. Among the historic coaches and carriages on display are the spectacular Diamond Jubilee State Coach, and the Australian State Coach, which was given to Queen Elizabeth II as a gift from the Australian people, and even includes central heating! The most dazzling of all is the Gold State Coach, which has been used at every coronation since that of William IV, and which played a starring role in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. Families visiting the Royal Mews will love posing for a photo while sitting in a replica of Queen Victoria's Semi-State Landau carriage, dressing up as a footman in specially created livery, or even learning how to harness a horse! As well as a complimentary multimedia guide for every visitor, the Royal Mews offers regular guided tours where visitors can learn the history of the Mews and its association with the British monarchy.

About Pencil Tree CIO A Legacy of Creativity and Giving At Pencil Tree CIO, generosity is more than an act—it’s a tradition. Our journey began nearly a century ago when my grandparents dedicated themselves to helping those in need. From sheltering families during floods to building schools for future generations, they passed down the belief that true wealth lies in giving. By the 1950s, my parents continued this mission, establishing schools and nurturing young minds. This spirit of kindness lives on through my daughter, Xian, and me. Together, we founded Pencil Tree CIO, ensuring that young artists and writers receive the support they need to flourish. Our mission is clear: to support young people in finding their voices, nurturing their imagination, and spreading love through creativity. Most importantly, we will continue to pass down this tradition to the next generation, including my granddaughter, Freya Our work has included: Huaicun Zhang Award at RBA – Recognizing young artistic talent. Rome Scholarship at RBA – Offering young artists international creative opportunities. Charitable Giving – Contributions to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, The Lord Mayor’s Appeal, and other causes.
