My favourite place in London




Wellington Arch
Wellington Arch
  Hyde Park is the largest inner city park in London. Like St James's and Green Park, Hyde Park remains the property of the Crown although it is now supported by public funding. In my opinion, the best place to enter the Park is at the southeast entrance. If you go to there, you will see Wellington Arch amid the traffic. The arch was originally the northern entrance gate into the grounds of Buckingham Palace. It was erected in 1828 to honour Wellington's success in the Napoleonic Wars. On a sunny day as children play, people sunbathe, play sports, rollerblade and stroll through the park. It is worth for you to visit.
