Also good for dog walking and drinking in the sun.Upvote1Downvote- Steve BellDecember 11, 2016A picturesque arch situated in the middle of a roundabout.

"A fantastic Iconic landmark in London, that I recommend anyone visiting checks out. One Tip - Make sure you take your coat, it can be really cold here, with the Thames winds."

"Amazing art! This memorial goes some way to explaining how Victoria felt about Albert – it's so different to what you would normally find in London. Mesmerising."

"Popular tourist monument in Trafalgar Square. Don’t climb on the lions, it’s finable offense. Grab a sandwich & coffee from Pret across the road, sit on the monument stairs & watch the world go by."
