Fri, 9 November 2007 We start at the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner. The Arch is a landmark for Londoners and visitors alike. George IV originally commissioned this massive monument as a grand outer entrance to Buckingham Palace and was completed in 1830 by Decimus Burton, its architect. In 1882 the arch was moved brick by brick to its present location adjacent to Wellington House (and is now in the centre of a giant roundabout filled with war memorials).
After taking in some views from the top of the Arch, we head into Hyde Park and reach the Serpentine, a recreational Lake in the heart of the Park. It's a beautiful oasis away from the 'madding crowd' of central London.
Finally we gather our thoughts at the new Princess Diane Memorial Fountain, which encourages visitors to paddle, to touch the water, and to gather thoughts. It's a surprisingly tranquil place that lifts the spirits and well worth a visit. Comments[0] |
