The Marble Arch was built for the Buckingham Palace entrance back in 1828. When the Palace was expanded, they moved the Arch to this location, in front of Hyde Park.

    The arches are exquisitely crafted, and the carvings are particularly careful. After years of baptism, they still stand quietly and completely here. I can't help but admire the craftsman craftsmanship of the craftsman era.

    Marble Arch should be one of London's many attractions. The nearly 200-year-old marble arch is located in the western section of Oxford Street, adjacent to Hyde Park, opposite the famous "Speaker's Corner" of Hyde Park. It was not here when it was first built. It was moved at the entrance of Buckingham Palace. It has been standing here for 160 years. Because of its geographical location, its surroundings have become a place for tourists to hang out. At noon break, people who work nearby will come here to bask in the sun. In recent years, the city government has spent a lot of money to renovate it, adding fountains, flower beds, lawns and so on.

    Marble Arch is a relatively small attraction in London, England. It's on the edge of Trafalgar Square. It looks like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, but it's much smaller. Through here, the front is Hyde Park. When you pass, you can have a close look. The sculpture on the arch is very beautiful and the artistic level is very high.

    The southeast corner of Hyde Park has a different meaning at the intersection, just like a garden around the island. Although the gate is not as grand as the Arc de Triomphe, and the surrounding buildings are not grand enough, the square on the west side of the shopping street, near the entrance of the subway station, has become a good place for people to gather and sit idly.

    Passing by the subway from Liverpool Railway Station, you can see a solid "Marble Arch" as soon as you leave the station. It is also said to be a famous attraction in London with a history of more than 160 years. Near the marble arch is the famous Speaker's Corner of Hyde Park, also known as the Freedom Forum. Since the 19th century, people have been standing on wooden soap boxes every Sunday afternoon to make speeches, so there is the saying of democracy on soap boxes. We were coming when an elderly man was standing on a small bench instead of a soap box, holding a small book in one hand and gesturing generously. There were no onlookers in front of it. It was cold and cool.
