More About Marble Arch
Situated at one end of Oxford Street, just across the road from Hyde Park, Marble Arch is an iconic London monument.
Marble Arch - What Is It and Why Is It There?
Designed by renowned architect John Nash in 1827, Marble Arch was intended to be the grand new eastern gateway to Buckingham Palace. Nash's previous work had included Regent Street and St James's Park, but Marble Arch was certainly a less successful venture for him.
His original design had included many ornate carvings across most of the structure, as well as a statue of George IV sitting atop the arch, stylistically a very similar appearance to that of Paris' Arc du Carrousel today. It was to be the grand entrance into the palace on the more open eastern side, but it slowly became clear that Nash's plans were simply too expensive.
Inevitably, Nash's design was never completed, as the task was passed to another architect, Edward Blore, who eventually completed a much cheaper, plainer arch in 1833. However, even then it was not favoured by Queen Victoria, and was eventually moved away to its current location in 1850. Rumours abounded that part of the reason for the move was that the Queen's carriage was too wide to pass through the central arch, but this was proved false when the current monarch passed under it on her coronation day.
So it was that Marble Arch was shifted to its present site on the corner of Hyde Park, just across the road from the famous Speaker's Corner, a place where anyone has the right to give a speech containing whatever they like, subject to certain rules about offensive language, etc. Marble Arch also marks one end of the popular shopping thoroughfare Oxford Street.
Historically, the site was home to the notorious Tyburn Gallows. Supposedly, as many as 50,000 people were executed here between 1300 and 1783, a grisly contrast to the pleasant collection of hotels in Marble Arch today. Even after the arch was moved and the gallows no more, it would still not have been advisable for a criminal to find themselves in this area, for Marble Arch doubled as a police station until as recently as 1950.
Technically, you are not allowed to walk through Marble Arch, as it is still classed as a royal gate, but you can rest assured that no police officer nearby is interested in observing this old custom.
