Where is it? #15

The latest in the series in which we ask you to identify where in London this picture was taken and what it’s of (or in this case who is the person named?). If you reckon you know the answer, leave a comment below. We’ll reveal the answer early next week. Good luck!

Of course, as those below noted, this is Admiralty Arch, an ornate archway which stands between The Mall and Trafalgar Square. Commissioned by King Edward VII to honor the memory of his mother, Queen Victoria, it was designed by Sir Aston Webb and completed in 1912. Named for the fact that it joins the Old Admiralty Buildings in Whitehall, the structure contains office space and up until last year were occupied by the Cabinet Office. It is currently on the market with a reported price tag of £75 million. Mooted future uses include it being transformed into a swanky hotel.

  1. L’ingresso del Mall, dal lato di Trafalgar Square, che conduce direttamente al maestoso trofeo dedicato alla Regina Vittoria, morta 10 anni prima. Grazie per questo bellissimo sito!

    Thanks for the comment! For those of us who don’t speak Italian (via Google translate) – “The entrance of the Mall, on the side of Trafalgar Square, which leads directly to the majestic trophy dedicated to Queen Victoria, died 10 years earlier. Thank you for this beautiful site!
