By the late 1840s, Victoria and Albert haddecided to transform the front of Buckingham Palace. And to makespace, they dismantled 1 the marble triumphal arch and relegated 2 it to a distantcorner of a Royal Park.
As the cars and tourists swirlaround Marble Arch in their thousands, I doubt many of them realize that thiswas once the ceremonial entrance to Buckingham Palace, through which Queen Victoria would ride in her splendidhorse-drawn carriages. When it was first moved here, it was a suitably regalentrance to Hyde Park. But now, surrounded bymulti-lane roads, it’s rather forlornly marooned 3 amid the fast-food outlets 4 andthe traffic.
