Inside, exhibitions detail its construction, while an open-air viewing gallery provides panoramic views of Hyde Park and the gardens of Buckingham Palace. Visitors can explore the historical significance and architectural beauty of this iconic structure, immersing themselves in the rich history and scenic vistas it offers.
