This grand gatehouise served as the main entrance to the abbey of St Augustine. It is largely 14th century. There are a suite of State Rooms over the arch, where King Charles I and Henrietta Maria spent their wedding night in 1625, following their marriage at the cathedral. The gate is now part of King's School.
