The Wellington Arch, London W1J

The Wellington Arch is one of the most prestigious and unique venues in London. Set in the heart of royal London in the centre of Hyde Park Corner, it’s the ideal venue to create any memorable occasion and it’s also one of London’s best kept secrets.

With views over the spectacular London skyline, this former royal gateway is still used for the changing of the guard as well as visiting dignitaries and the Royal Family when heading to Buckingham Palace.

The Wellington Arch was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace, later becoming a victory arch proclaiming Wellington's defeat of Napoleon. Crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, it depicts the Angel of Peace descending on the 'Quadriga' - or four-horsed chariot - of War

This unique venue has rooms on two levels, providing a contemporary setting available for exclusive daytime hire for private events or for evening functions seven days a week. The Arch also doubles as a chic party venue, hosting hundreds of occasions every year. Your guests can feast on the spectacular views from the balconies across Buckingham Palace gardens and Westminster to Big Ben, the London Eye and the Shard.

We can provide you with our list of preferred caterers, florists and AV production companies whose knowledge of working within historic and unique venues is unrivalled.
