Marble Arch Tourist InfoMarble Arch is a monument near Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London. Only members of the royal family and the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery are allowed to pass through the arch.The Marble Arch was designed by John Nash in 1828. He based it on the Triumphal Arch of Constantine in Rome, and originally placed it on The Mall, as gateway to the new Buckingham Palace, which he created by renovating the former Buckingham House. Some sculptures intended for the arch ended up on the façade of the National Gallery due to Nash's financial problems. In 1851, the Marble Arch was moved to its present location during the building of the east front of Buckingham Palace.
