EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the grandeur and historical significance of Apsley House and the Hyde Park Screen in Westminster, London. The image, expertly captured by photographer Damian Grady, showcases these architectural marvels from a unique perspective. Apsley House stands proudly at the forefront of this composition, its elegant facade exuding timeless charm. This magnificent Georgian mansion has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. Once known as Number One London, it was home to Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington and renowned military leader. Adjacent to Apsley House is the iconic Hyde Park Screen, an impressive structure that adds another layer of beauty to this scene. Designed by Decimus Burton in 1828, this ornate triumphal arch serves as a gateway between Hyde Park and Green Park. The photograph's aerial viewpoint allows us to appreciate not only the individual splendor of these landmarks but also their harmonious integration into their surroundings. We can see how they seamlessly blend with the lush greenery of Hyde Park while standing tall against Westminster's skyline. Through this print from Historic England, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history—an enchanting combination of architecture and nature that continues to captivate visitors today. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to explore further into London's fascinating past.
