Admiralty Arch

The arch is beautiful and in a very scenic location. In fact, I was so amazed by it that I missed Matthew Gray Gubler walking past us (my sisters saw him)!

Admiralty Arch is a landmark building in London which incorporates an archway providing road and pedestrian access between The Mall, which extends to the South-​West, and Trafalgar Square to the North-​East. Admiralty Arch is a Grade I listed building. Until recently, the building housed government offices, but in 2012 the government sold a 125-​year lease over the building to a property developer Prime Investors Capital for redevelopment into a luxury hotel not sure if that’s still the plan though???

Every main city has a famous arch! London’s famous arch representing is status and achievements is the Admirality Arch standing by the lively Trafalgar Square and on the end of the road leading the majestic Buckingham Palace!
The gate has three big arches the allow vehicles to pass by, and the enormous gate is covered with intricate designs and patterns showing its importance to the citizens and foreigners!
Similar to many other gates such as the triumph arch in Madrid, it is definitely worth seeing and snapping a few pictures! In fact, it’s hard to not pass by it because it’s located in the center of London and by many other landmarks, so when traveling to on landmark to another, you’ll definitely walk by it!
Also, walking down the road from the arch to the buckingham palace allows you to enjoy the beautiful sceneries of the green and floral decorations! So many colorful flowers and luscious green trees!

Cinq arcades au total forment l’arche de l’amirauté. Ce monument partage la place très fréquenté du Trafalgar Square, de la large avenue The Mall qui mènent jusqu’au palais royal de Buckingham Palace.
De tout temps elle a toujours rempli une fonction d’hébergement pour diverses catégories de personnes, allant des membres de la garde anglaise, en passant par une mutation pour logement de sans abri pour aujourd’hui, servir de résidence aux gouvernement du pays.
Placé du coté de Trafalgar Square, la gauche de l’arche centrale laisse ressortir en quelque sorte «un nez». Une présence un peu incongru source de plusieurs légendes l’entourant sur sa véritable nature.

context in which it is beautiful, I wish I qualified to go there.
life and my income does not allow me to go there.

C’est le bout du Mall reliant Buckingham Palace à Trafalgar Square. Construction originale qui vaut un passage en dessous (mais en même temps, on a pas le choix).

This has always been a favourite landmark of mine. It has a lovely imposing presence without seeming at all overblown. I didn’t know anything about the the history or function of the place, I had to look it up when I saw that no one had reviewed this important London landmark .
Wikipedia says: Admiralty Arch is a large office building in London which incorporates an archway providing road and pedestrian access between The Mall, which extends to the South-​West, and Trafalgar Square to the North-​East. It was designed by Sir Aston Webb, constructed by John Mowlem & Co and completed in 1912. It adjoins the Old Admiralty Building, hence the name.
The building was commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother Queen Victoria, although he did not live to see its completion. A Latin inscription along the top reads:
: ANNO: DECIMO: EDWARDI: SEPTIMI: REGIS :
: VICTORIÆ: REGINÆ: CIVES: GRATISSIMI: MDCCCCX :
(In the tenth year of King Edward VII, to Queen Victoria, from most grateful citizens, 1910)
The sculptural figures of Navigation and Gunnery were designed by the English sculptor Thomas Brock.
Another famous feature of Admiralty Arch is its nose. On the inside wall of the northernmost arch there is a small protrusion the size and shape of a human nose. There is little or no public information as to why it is there. The nose is at a height of about seven feet, and sits at waist high for anyone riding through the arch on a horse. Tradition holds that the nose is there in honour of the Duke of Wellington, who was known for having a particularly large nose. Royal soldiers would rub Wellington’s nose for good luck as they rode through the arch.
Admiralty Arch is a Grade I listed building. In 2000, the Cabinet Office moved into offices in the building, while maintaining its headquarters on Whitehall. It is also home to the Prime Minister’s Strategy Unit and the Social Exclusion Task Force. 1

Beautiful building just off Trafalgar Square, Admiralty Arch is worthy of a quick stop and pictures from both sides. Built in 1910. The inscription reads «Anno decimo Edwardi Septimi Regis Victoriæ Reginæ cives gratissimi MDCCCCX» which translates to «In the tenth year of King Edward VII to Queen Victoria from most grateful citizens 1910».
Tip: if you can reach it, rub the nose for good luck.
