Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
Nash's gateway to Buckingham Palace, moved to a traffic island where nobody may drive through it.

Also in Royal London.
John Nash designed it in 1827 as the state entrance to Buckingham Palace, in white Carrara marble on the model of the Arch of Constantine, and it stood in front of the palace until 1851, when the east front was built and it was in the way. It was taken to the corner of Hyde Park, which was then the park's entrance and is now a roundabout. By law only the sovereign, the royal family and the King's Troop may pass through the central arch. Inside are three small rooms that were a police station until 1950. The plaque on the island nearby marks the Tyburn gallows, where London hanged its criminals for six hundred years.
