I wouldn't say the Royal Mews is a must for a first time London visitor, but it is very enjoyable. The carriages are amazing -- lamps on the side of one with custom-designed Waterford crystal is one of the details that sticks in my mind!
There are also usually a few horses in the stable, and the guides are more than willing to answer questions at length.
Enjoy!

Degas, My mother & I went to the Mews in Sept and really enjoyed it. It's worth just it for that gold state coach! Of course, there are other coaches as well, cars and horses. Entry was 5.00 GBP. Just in case you will have it, it's covered by the Great Britain Heritage Pass. Have fun!
