Wellington Arch

Built between 1825 and 1827, this magnificent monument initially celebrated the triumphant entrance to Buckingham Palace before becoming the brilliant symbol of the 1815 victory at Waterloo. Behind its grand facades, the building houses temporary galleries that shed light on the lesser-known facets of British heritage. The ascent to the summit reveals a spectacular panorama: from the balcony, the eye embraces the royal gardens, The Mall, and the expansive green of Hyde Park. The regular passage of the Royal Cavalry en route to the guard change offers a timeless spectacle. This historic site combines neoclassical architecture with a unique belvedere, transforming the visit into a privileged encounter with the history of the Crown. Open from June 11, 2026, this site allows you to gain height and contemplate the city from a royal perspective.
