Assistance animals

Assistance animals are welcome. We recommend that if possible animals wear a jacket or lead slip to identify them as working.

Staff reserve the right to ask visitors to remove their animal if it is deemed not to be behaving appropriately. Arrangements will then be made for the visitor to return without their animal. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

Shops

Visitors exit through the Royal Mews shop where the flooring is level with tiles and carpet. All Royal Collection shops are currently operating a cashless system.
