Story

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. The balconies offer unique views across London and of the Household Cavalry, passing beneath on their way to and from the Changing of the Guard at Horse Guards Parade every morning. It was originally commissioned as a grand outer entrance to Buckingham Palace and moved to its present site in 1882, and the history of the Arch is documented in an Exhibition on the first floor.

A grand arch topped by a bronze quadriga designed and made by Adrian Cotes to commemorate the 1st Duke of Wellington’s victory and defeat of Napoleon and his forces at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, sculpted by Matthew Cotes Wyatt its a must see if you are in the area.

Cool spot. Needed more time to appreciate the view.

One of the biggest arch monuments in England with quadriga statue on top.

The beautiful Wellington Arch . Did you know you can climb top? The viewing level offers incredible views of Hyde Park & Buckingham Palace! #VisitLondon [ @gaiathroughlens]

Decent monument connecting Green Park amd Hyde Park. Worth a quick visit if it is on your way to Hyde Park.

Beautiful arch with so much history. I would love to go up once allowed

Wellington Arch was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace, later becoming a victory arch proclaiming Wellington's defeat of Napoleon. Crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, it depicts the Angel of Peace descending on the 'Quadriga' - or four-horsed chariot - of War.  Images by @glmphotostudio
