ADMIRALTY ARCH
Marble Arch is a 19th-century white marble-faced triumphal arch in London, England.
The structure was designed by John Nash in 1827 to be the state entrance to the cour
d'honneur of Buckingham Palace; it stood near the site of what is today the
three-bayed, central projection of the palace containing the well known balcony. In
1851 it was relocated and following the widening of Park Lane in the early 1960s is
now sited, incongruently isolated, on a large traffic island at the junction of Oxford
Street, Park Lane and Edgware Road. Admiralty Arch, Holyhead in Wales is a similar
arch, even more so cut off from public access, at the other end of the A5.
Historically, only members of the Royal Family and the King's Troop, Royal Horse
Artillery are permitted to pass through the arch; this happens only in ceremonial
processions.
The arch gives its name to the area surrounding it, particularly the southern portion of
Edgware Road and also to the underground station. The arch is not part of the Royal
Parks and is local authority maintained.
