With an impressive array of memorials in Hyde Park Corner, Wellington’s Arch is the most dominant. Perhaps it over shadows the other memorials. The arch and the statue are impressive in their design. Wellington must have been one great leaders to be revered in such a way.

Visited today and were welcomed by Hannah and Phoebe who were an absolute joy, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Enjoyed the Samuel Bassett exhibition and the info about the history of the arch too. Lovely views from the top!

It's a very impressive monument, with a striking statue on its top - but you don't have to pay to see the outside: that's free. You only have to pay to go in - and that's quite ordinary. Probably the best thing is the view and as it was raining heavily, during my visit, that wasn't as good as it could've been. I think you're basically paying £7 for the view, so I'd recommend that you only go there on a nice day.

You can go to upper terrace for a nice view of surrounding. On your bay up you can take a look on nice exhibition of history of this building and one artistic installation on second floor. View from top terrace is nice

Interesting piece of history which is underinvested in. We had booked this ahead of time and were looking forward to climbing up the arch and learning more about it. Greeted by pleasant staff and it was easy to navigate our way through a self guided tour of the arch. Floor 1 has a very basic history of the arch, some interesting information but very little detail. The interactive audio was broken so couldn’t enjoy. Very reliant on reading only so not accessible to all. Floor 2 has an Army exhibit. Very brief history but was interesting as explored the sacrifices made by the regiment during WW1. Please be warned if reading parts to younger children some bits are quite upsetting. Floor 3, art exhibit and leads to the terrace. You might miss this as we only realised we could go up to ‘floor 4’ because our children wanted to explore what was up the stairs! The terrace - fine views, although we couldn’t see much as despite being a sunny day the tree foliage blocks all the things you are meant to be able to see. This is a poor experience for children under the age of about 9/10 unless quite tall as they will not be able to see over the terrace wall and there is nothing else for them to do on the terrace. Overall a moderately interesting place, takes 20/30 mins to do if you read everything. Avoid with children as they will most likely be bored and at £19 for a family ticket this is poor value for money. Why children aren’t free is beyond us as there is nothing that will engage them at all and they can’t even enjoy the view. This could be something special with a little more thought but sadly is likely to end up closed especially as on a warm sunny weekend in August there was no one else in the arch at all, despite huge crowds in the surrounding area.

I was interested to see inside Wellington Arch and the view which is great but then I was really astonished to find (upstairs) a floor made by artist Henry Krokatsis. It’s several thousand individually cut pieces of scrap wood laid into a wonderful pattern. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen, unexpected and beautiful.
