The real place
Admiralty Arch was commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother, Queen Victoria, and designed by Aston Webb. Edward died before it was finished, and it was completed in 1912. The central gate is opened only for royal processions.
Visiting
Walk through it from Trafalgar Square and carry on down The Mall to Buckingham Palace, about 15 minutes on foot. Look inside the northernmost arch for the small nose set into the wall, a London curiosity.
