Wellington Arch

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A magnificent processional arch designed by architect Decimus Burton for Gorge IV to act as a gateway to Buckingham Palace. The arch was moved to its present location opposite the entrance to Hyde Park in 1882. A huge statue of the Duke of Wellington originally stood atop the arch, but this was later removed and the current statue representing the angel of peace riding a chariot put in its place. Visitors can ascend to a viewing platform atop the arch - good for viewing the Horse Guards as they pass in procession through the arch each day - and view exhibits on the building of the Arch and on London's famous Blue Plaques.
