Review:

Wellington Arch, also commonly referred to as Constitution Arch, is a lovely Grade I-listed historic triumphal arch designed by architect Decimus Burton, forming a major centerpiece of London's Hyde Park Corner at the corner of Hyde and Green Parks. The arch was originally constructed at a different location in 1830 and moved to its current site in 1883, named for its former equestrian statue of the First Duke of Wellington, designed by sculptor Matthew Cotes Wyatt. Since 1912, the statue has been replaced by a bronze four-horse quadriga chariot sculpture by Adrian Jones. Visitors can view the famed arch on foot or by vehicle throughout the day and marvel upon its spectacular Corinthian order architecture and monuments to Britain's victories in the Napoleonic Wars.
