Set in the heart of Royal London at Hyde Park Corner, Wellington Arch is a landmark for Londoners and visitors alike and a great addition to a memorable day out in London. It was originally commissioned as a grand outer entrance to Buckingham Palace and moved to its present site in 1882.

Look up at the Wellington Arch to see a magnificent chariot of four elevated horses & a small boy amidst leading the Quadriga with the figure, an angel of Peace descending from heaven. Read more
Stunning triumphal arch at Hyde Park Corner . Has the largest bronze sculpture in Europe. Run by English heritage .
It was the original entrance to Buckingham Palace and it set in the heart of royal London and it’s really impressive structure .
Inside the monument there is a little (with emphasis on little) museum about the arch and the Battle of Waterloo . You can go out ob the balconies from the museum 's top floor.
Only the British Royal Family and their guests can drive through the arch. Listen for the sound of police whistles as the outriders approach to clear traffic. The army marches/rides through too.
English Heritage site (members get in for free). There is an elevator for those who can't do stairs and the top offers panoramic views of Green Park , Hyde Park , Piccadilly and surrounding areas.
Quiet , Peaceful & Charming destination at late night .. (Say something, I'm giving up on you) !!
This hollow Arch was half ventilation shaft for the Underground, half a tiny police station until 1992. Now open to the public for a sneaking glimpses of the Buckingham Palace private gardens .
This arch, built in honour of the hero of the Battle of Waterloo , once formed a grand western entrance to London, but had to be moved aside in 1885 as it created a notorious traffic bottleneck.
You can read all about it for free on Wikipedia while chilling in the fresh air

Londra’da gezmeye başlayacağınız ilk noktalardan biri. Merkezi nokta.
Un lugar tranquilo , un respiro para la ciudad
Die Horse Guard kommt auf dem Weg zum Wachwechsel vorbei geritten. Kann man super von oben miterleben
Einfach so herumstehend wirkt er beinahe etwas verloren und deplatziert. Hier muss man aber wissen, dass er eigentlich mal woanders stand und aus Verkehrsgründen hierhergebracht wurde.
Se ve un impresionante atardecer detrás
красивая подсветка вечером!
Great place for photos, including views of Buckingham Palace. - Maggie MacG
Great historic place and awesome view of London although it is better if you go on a sunny day. Also, you have to have strong legs if you plan to go all the way up! - No4emi GV
