Overview

Set in the heart of royal London, Wellington Arch was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace.

Now, this triumphal arch celebrates Britain’s triumph over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. The hollow arch contains three floors of exhibitions on the Napoleonic Wars and the history of the arch itself, as well as offering extensive views across the surrounding royal area from its balconies.
