    Located very close to this arch is also a giant stone structure of a horse's head tipped down as if it's drinking water. Take the time to read the plaque that is posted near the arch.

    Beautiful triumphal arch containing a one room flat. Built near the site of the infamous Tyburn tree, a three-legged gallows where 50000 executed in 1196-1783.

    A picturesque arch situated in the middle of a roundabout. Not a lot to do but the history of the arch can be interesting while inhaling the traffic fumes. Right next to Hyde Park.

    This John Nash-designed Carrara-marble monument is a must-see for all London's visitors. Located at the junction of Oxford St, Park Lane, and Edgware Road. Busy location, so expect crowds here.

    Sculpted from Italian marble and based on the Arch of Constantine in Rome, this was built in 1827 as the entrance to Buckingham Palace. It was moved here in 1851 when the palace was enlarged.

    Marble Arch was originally built as the entrance to Buckingham Palace, but was never used. There is actually a tiny office inside it, which was used as a police station.

    Why do they keep the gates locked when you can just walk around the thing?
