A man has been fined £1,000 for trespassing onto the Royal Mews near Buckingham Palace.
Awad Mustafa, 25, of no fixed address, will also have to pay a victim surcharge of £400 and costs of £85, Westminster Magistrates ruled.
He was arrested next to the palace in September, following reports that a person had been seen climbing the wall in the early hours.
Officers at the royal residence detained Mustafa outside the stables.
He did not enter the palace or its gardens at any time, the Metropolitan Police said.
The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace is responsible for the King's road travel arrangements and is home to the Gold State Coach, which has been used at every coronation since that of William IV in 1831.
