The Marble Arch was removed to Hyde Park between 1847 and 1851, as the front façade of Buckingham Palace was built.

Thanks Marco. I seem to remember one or more of the triple arches became too narrow for the wider vehicles entering Buckingham Palace?

Some have claimed that, but the present Queen went through the centre arch in the Gold State Coach in her Coronation precession, and that is pretty hefty. Probably it was just generally in the way. The Coronation was before Park Lane was widened and Marble Arch then was more accessible, not isolated in a traffic island

Thank you, Marco. I didn't know that Marble Arch once stood in front of Buckingham Palace.

The current appearance of the front of Buckingham Palace only dates back to 1913. It was remodeled as a backdrop for the Victoria Memorial.

I removed most of this thread as it was delving into a side topic. Please note that our #1 guideline is to stay on topic as otherwise it is a disservice to the OP.

Kent, thank you for this thread, I didn’t know what is in the show is called Marble Arch, didn’t know it actually exists (looks like very bad CG in the show to me), and is now in Hyde Park.
Learned something new today... : )

Not actually in Hyde Park, but just north, at the very northeast corner, just west of Park Lane at the low rent west end of Oxford Street. Mostly used at the moment as something for buses to go around as they come up Park Lane and turn into Edgware Road and Oxford Street.
