Within walking distance from the Harrods, lies the Wellington Arch. Wellington Arch is a landmark for Londoners as a grand outer entrance to Buckingham Palace. You can take a lift to the balconies just below the spectacular bronze sculpture which tops the imposing monument. The statue is the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, and depicts the angel of peace descending on the chariot of war. I can't believe inside the arch, it is actually a three floors exhibition hall telling its fascinating history, including its time as London's smallest police station!
Now, that's me and Ufa, Alifa's gang in London. Funny and easy going girl. Just like Alifa, she's very enthusiastic in showing me all the places in London, making sure that I took photos with my face behind every famous landmarks there.
The arch is located at the memorial park for the soldiers who died during war.
It's indeed a nice place to commemorate their heroes with all the names are engraved on the marble wall.
This statue depicts the soldier when they had to carry this lot of firearms those days. Hmmm, I'm sure this soldier might be one of those kamikaze squad for sure. You deserved my salutes and wreath.
