## Why go

In 1846, a massive equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington was placed on top of the arch. a major road widening of Piccadilly in 1882 was the opportunity to finally remove the oversized statue to Aldershot. The present magnificent statue, Peace Descending on the Quadriga of War, was placed on top of the Arch in 1912, and remains the largest bronze sculpture in the United Kingdom, spectacularly lit at night.
