Address - The Mall, St. James's, London SW1A 2WH, United Kingdom (3 minutes walk from Charing Cross station) Highlights - One of the most treasured landmarks in London. Commemorate Queen Victoria's death. Built in 1912. Rating - 5/5 One of the must-see when you are in London! If you would have definitely see it before in either news or TV as this is commonly used for ceremonial occasions, such as royal weddings, funerals, coronations and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games! I would recommend best time to go is when there is Guard Mounting at Buckingham Palace, as the road will be usually closed and you can be able to take picture at the road with the Admiralty Arch. Heard that the top part of the Admiralty Arch will be transformed into the finest hotel by 2023! Looking forward to try it out some day! #travelinspiration#historicculture#scenicspotguide

#magicalxmastrip Admiralty Arch is an iconic and historic landmark in central London, marking the ceremonial gateway between The Mall and Trafalgar Square. It is located at the eastern end of The Mall, adjacent to Trafalgar Square, and near landmarks like Nelson’s Column and St. James’s Park. Admiralty Arch was commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother, Queen Victoria, and completed in 1912. Admiralty Arch features five arches, three for vehicular traffic and two for pedestrians, constructed in a neoclassical style.

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
