Admiralty Arch - London

Edward VII wanted to perpetuate the memory of his mother, Queen Victoria, and ordered the construction of the Admiralty Arch. They built the arch for five years - from 1908 to 1912. The architect connected the built arch with the Admiralty building. In this case, the arch was in the center. That's where the name comes from, by the way. It was opened after the death of King Edward VII. The arch has three entrances. The central one is covered with bars, it was used only during solemn processions (coronation, royal wedding). By the way, Admiralty Arch is connected to the Mall, which leads from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace. #visitlondon #london #travelinspiration #urbanexplorer
