Families will be able to hitch a ride in a horse-drawn golden ‘Coronation Carriage’ around Dulwich Park ahead of King Charles III’s big day.
Uber is offering people free trips in the swanky coach from next Wednesday May 3 to the day before the coronation on Friday May 5, with slots available to book via the Uber app.
Dulwich Villagers were offered a sneak preview of the replica carriage last week, which was taking practice runs around the park.
Andrew Brem, General Manager at Uber UK, said: “What better way to celebrate one of the most significant events of 2023 by riding like King Charles III in a horse drawn carriage.
“We’re always looking for new ways to add a little Uber magic to peoples journeys, so we are over the moon to be able to bring the Coronation Carriage to Uber”.
The carriage will have statuettes, plush seats, embroidered cushions and throws to make it an authentic regal experience.
Uber said: “The beautifully ornate carriage has been lovingly created using designs from previous royal carriages, giving riders the chance to ride in the kind of luxury only normally afforded to the highest ranks of the UK monarchy.”
The four white horses pulling the carriage will be adorned in Coronation wear, just like the horses at the real royal procession.
To book the carriage, people will have to go in person the Carriage Drive entrance of Dulwich Park where the Coronation Carriage concierge will help you book your trip through the app.
Uber has said it will make a donation to Spana, a UK-based charity that works in animal welfare across the world.
