Wellington Arch, Quadriga Galleries

Made for the Duke of wellingtons victories in the napoleon war, the beast is huge like it was made for Hagrids brother. Hugs thing but totally sick. Got loads of other memorials and stuff around it too, real close to Hyde park and Buckingham Palace. This may not be on your list but you'll probs take a photo.

It's a unique structure full of history. Once home to the smallest police station in London, moved from it's original place and once part of a design scheme as an entrance to Buckingham Palace. Inside is a small shop, exhibition with the history and some parts of the feature on the top. There is an art exhibition on and then you can see over to Hyde Park and over Green Park. It won't take you long to look around, there is a lift and steps. Guide book available that includes the War Memorials in London in the care of English Heritage. The staff are excellent too, they helped me navigate to Kenwood House using the tubes and Busses

Wellington Arch, located at the western end of Hyde Park in London, is an impressive triumphal arch that commemorates the Duke of Wellington’s victories in the Napoleonic Wars. Completed in 1826, the arch was originally designed to serve as a grand entrance to the royal residence at Buckingham Palace and later became a prominent landmark in its own right. Standing at 18 meters tall, the arch features a striking bronze sculpture of a chariot drawn by four horses, created by the artist Matthew Cotes Wyatt. This striking piece symbolizes peace, triumph, and the military achievements of the Duke. Visitors can explore the arch and its surrounding gardens, and there’s a small exhibition inside that details the history of the arch and its significance. Its location offers excellent views of the surrounding area, including nearby attractions like Hyde Park and the beautiful Apsley House. Wellington Arch is not only a historical monument but also a great spot for photography and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of London.
