About

Commonwealth Memorial Gates stands as a poignant tribute to the soldiers of the Commonwealth who fought in the World Wars. Just a short walk from Hyde Park Corner Station, near the iconic Wellington Arch, the site features five towering stone columns, each inscribed with the names of Commonwealth countries that contributed troops. The eternal flame at its center serves as a solemn reminder of their sacrifice. Unveiled in 2002 by the Queen Mother, the memorial continues to honor these soldiers, with annual commemorations taking place, particularly on Commonwealth Day. With a family-friendly environment, it's a reflective spot suitable for all ages, inviting visitors to pause and pay their respects.
