Step out of Hyde Park and shoot Wellington arches and statues near Hyde Park's southeast gate. Wellington Arch, Constitutional Arch or Green Park Arch, or the Arc de Triomphe of England, is the central part of Hyde Park Corner in central London, between Hyde Park and Green Park; it is located on a large traffic island with crossroads for pedestrians. It was originally a huge horse riding statue built by sculptor Matthew Curt Wyatt for the First Duke of Wellington, hence the name "Wellington Arch". Since 1912, it has been replaced by a bronze four-horse two-wheeled chariot designed by Adrian Jones.
