100 London things: 98

[oursin]

I've done some arches already: the railway kind, Admiralty Arch, and the quondam Euston Arch which there are plans to rebuild, but there are still some that I haven't yet touched on.

Besides, that is, the iconic Marble Arch, standing more or less on the site of the Tyburn Tree (not its original location, I note, taking down arches and putting them up somewhere else a bit of a theme, perchance);

there is the Wellington Arch at the other end of Park Lane, also moved, for reasons to do with traffic flow, and denuded of what was apparently a hideous giant crowning statue of the Iron Duke. For quite some time it served as London's smallest police station (awwwwww), which had a resident cat, called Snooks (even more awwwwwwwwww).

I see that I recorded that there are rather splendid views.

Archway, however, is actually a road bridge.

(Yes, I know the song below is not about these sorts of arches.)
