The Admiralty Arch is reminiscent of an ancient triumphal arch, although it is only around 100 years old. The Admiralty Arch was built in 1910 by order of King Edward VII and was a gift to his mother, Queen Victoria. Today, the triumphal arch is often used for the journey from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace on ceremonial occasions.

The British government commissioned Admiralty Arch in memory of Queen Victoria. The building forms part of a wider national memorial designed by architect Sir Aston Webb, which includes The Mall, the Victoria Monument, the Memorial Gardens and the re-facing of Buckingham Palace. The grand project was funded through donations raised in the United Kingdom, the overseas realms and territories and had a dedicated committee chaired by Lord Salisbury. The Latin inscription above the arch reads: “ANNO DECIMO EDWARDI SEPTIMI REGIS VICTORIAE REGINAE CIVES GRATISSIMI MDCCCCX” which translates as, “In the tenth year of King Edward VII, to Queen Victoria, from most grateful citizens, 1910.”

One of the Soho Noses is on Admirality Arch, hope it still there after the arch's conversion into a luxury hotel.
