Overview
A memorable visit of this imposing and iconic monument, right at the heart of London. Proudly standing opposite Hyde Park and Apsley House, Wellington Arch is a famous landmark for visitors and Londoners alike. Topped by the biggest bronze sculpture in Europe, it was originally intended as a grand outer entrance to Buckingham Palace, as well as a proclamation of Wellington's victories over Napoleon.
Enjoy glorious panoramas over the Royal Parks from the balconies just below the great Quadriga sculpture, depicting the Angel of Peace descending on the four-horsed chariot of War.
Visit the exhibition on the first floor to discover the surprising story of how the arch's appearance and sitting have changed since it was erected in 1825-27.
