Local information
Marble Arch
Marble Arch is a white Carrara marble monument at the western end of Oxford Street. The arch design was based on the triumphal arch of Constantine in Rome and was originally erected on The Mall as a gateway to the new Buckingham Palace. It was moved to its present location, an area formerly known as the Tyburn gallows, as one of the entrances to Hyde Park in 1851.
The nearest London Underground station is Marble Arch, in the Central Line and the area around the arch forms a major road junction connecting Oxford Street to Park Lane (A4202), Edgware Road (A5) and Bayswater Road (A402). Marble Arch's central location means it is near most of the major London attractions such as London Zoo, Lords Cricket Ground, Madame Tussauds and Buckingham Palace. Apart from such tourist sites, Marble Arch is also a place of culture and learning with the Science, British and National History Museums located nearby along with the renowned National Gallery.
Furthermore, transport routes are never too far in this part of London so that mobility and accessibility are never a problem. Whatever your location within W2, you are never more than 20-25 minutes walk from a bus or train station. Seven tube stations are especially prominent within the area; Lancaster Gate, Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch, Paddington, Bayswater, Queensway and Royal Oak. There are also numerous bus stations dispersed within the area so travelling to other parts of Central London is not difficult.
