More about this scene
This imposing, ornate gateway once stood where the Strand becomes Fleet Street, and was erected in 1672 to a design by Wren.The effigies portray Stuart monarchs. Beneath its arch Queen Victoria and Albert passed on their way to State services at St Paul’s. By the 1860s it was causing considerable traffic congestion and there were heated debates in the press about its future. It was finally removed in 1878 and re-erected at Waltham Cross.
