Carl GriffinJanuary 6, 2016Stunning triumphal arch at Hyde Park Corner. Has the largest bronze sculpture in Europe. Run by English heritage.- Kristjan WagerFebruary 14, 2016Inside 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.- FahadNovember 17, 2023It was the original entrance to Buckingham Palace and it set in the heart of royal London and it’s really impressive structure.

NmApril 25, 2020Quiet, Peaceful & Charming destination at late night .. (Say something, I'm giving up on you) !!
Louis VuittonMay 30, 2012This 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.
HISTORY UKFebruary 10, 2011This 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.

Susanne JungbluthMay 8, 2014Die Horse Guard kommt auf dem Weg zum Wachwechsel vorbei geritten. Kann man super von oben miterleben- Molotov CupcakeNovember 19, 2020Einfach 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.

"Amazing art! This memorial goes some way to explaining how Victoria felt about Albert – it's so different to what you would normally find in London. Mesmerising."
