Tributes to a Great Hero
Apsley House - the former residence of the Duke of Wellington, and Wellington Arch - the London landmark that bears his name are two fascinating places to visit in the heart of London at Hyde Park Corner.
Apsley House
Apsley House, home of the first Duke of Wellington and his descendants, stands right in the heart of London at Hyde Park Corner. For over 200 years, this great metropolitan mansion has been known colloquially as 'Number 1 London', because it was the first house encountered after passing the tollgates at the top of Knightsbridge. A comfortable seating area has now been created in the Inner Hall, where visitors can browse through leather-bound albums of images of Wellington, his descendants, and Apsley House.
Wellington Arch
Set in the heart of Royal London at Hyde Park Corner,Wellington Arch is a landmark for Londoners and visitors alike. George IV originally commissioned this massive monument as a grand outer entrance to Buckingham Palace. It was completed in 1830 by architect Decimus Burton, and moved to its present site in 1882.Apsley House, opposite Wellington Arch, was the London home of the Duke of Wellington.
