Hyde Park Stables, based at nearby cobbled Bathurst Mews, which first opened in 1835 and was saved from falling into the hands of property developers by its new owners, sisters Jodie and Ellie Hall McAteer, who bought it from horse-loving socialite and confidente of the Duchess of York, Basia Briggs and her husband Dick in 2018.Many a famous face has been spotted at the stables over the years, from Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Madonna, Pierce Brosnan and Jackie Chan, to Hugh Grant, who has taken his kids riding in the park on many an occasion.
