Hyde Park Stables - Horse Riding Central London

Hyde Park Stables sits at 63 Bathurst Mews in Westminster, one of the last remaining working mews with horses in Central London. The site has a riding history stretching back over 300 years, with Rotten Row in Hyde Park recognised as England's most famous equestrian route. Under the current ownership of Ellie Hall McAteer, the stables are run with a clear focus: making riding accessible in the city, for visitors and Londoners alike.

Rides go out into Hyde Park itself, alongside The Serpentine lake and along Rotten Row, a setting that is genuinely unlike anything else available in a capital city. All rides are escorted by qualified instructors. Every rider starts on the lead rein while the instructor assesses ability, and the pace is adjusted accordingly. Novices stay safely led; more experienced riders can work independently once assessed.

Sessions are available in three formats. Semi-private rides are for two or more riders sharing a mounted escort. Private rides are one-to-one with a mounted escort through the park. Arena lessons take place in the outdoor arena within the park and are offered as private sessions only. The same formats and pricing apply seven days a week.

Alongside the riding school, the Hall McAteer family operates Hyde Park Showjumpers, an elite showjumping yard north of London competing at international level. Rides are English riding only (Western riders should mention their experience at booking), and a weight limit of 175lbs/80kg applies.
