Wellington Arch

Hyde Park Corner, Apsley Way, London, W1J 7JZ -

Up to
75 guests

Once an entrance to Buckingham Palace, Wellington Arch was repurposed in the 19th century to proclaim the eponymous duke’s victory at Waterloo. Since the early 20th century, it’s been crowned by Quadriga – Europe’s biggest bronze sculpture, depicting an angel of peace descending on a horse-drawn chariot of war. Now in the care of English Heritage, this landmark building offers the two floors of its Quadriga Galleries for stand-up and sit-down events at which guests can enjoy views of its Waterloo 1815 – The Battle for Peace exhibition. A pair of balconies look out across London and are a good spot for welcome drinks.

Impressive Arch set at the corner of Hyde Park and not very far from The Green Park. 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 four-horsed Chariot of War.
