Wellington Arch photographed on 10 January 2017.

Wellington Arch was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace, later becoming a victory arch proclaiming Wellington's defeat of Napoleon. Crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, it depicts the Angel of Peace descending on the 'Quadriga' - or four-horsed chariot - of War.

The pathway that runs underneath the arch has a formal name - Apsley Way.
