London walking tour from Mortimer Street to Marble Arch.

Assalamu`alaikum

Today we`ll be exploring Mortimer Street to Marble Arch

Mortimer Street in Fitzrovia has a hidden artistic history. ... Thom is Curator of Making at the Museum of London.

Mortimer Street is a street in the City of Westminster. It runs from the junction of Cavendish Place, Langham Place, and Regent Street in the west, to the junction of Cleveland Street, Goodge Street, and Newman Street in the east. It is joined by Great Portland Street, Great Titchfield Street, Wells Street, Nassau Street, Berners Street, and Berners Mews.


John Nash (1752-1835) was the favoured architect of the Prince Regent, later King George IV. Under George’s auspices Nash designed and planned such landmarks as Regent’s Park, Regent Street, Carlton House Terrace, much of Buckingham Palace and Marble Arch. Marble Arch was designed to be both a grandiose gateway to an expanded Buckingham Palace and an exuberant celebration of British victories in the Napoleonic Wars – a Triumphal Arch. But the Grade I listed Arch that we see today is nowhere near as grand as Nash originally intended.

This model, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, gives an impression of how Marble Arch might have looked. Nash had it made to illustrate his intended design to George IV.

Bristling with sculpture, including an imposing equestrian statue of George IV crowning the structure, the overall design was approved and sculptures were commissioned in 1828.

Had George IV lived a little longer we would certainly have a very different Marble Arch today.

Hari ini kita akan menjelajahi Mortimer Street hingga Marble Arch

Mortimer Street di Fitzrovia memiliki sejarah artistik yang tersembunyi. ... Thom adalah Kurator Pembuatan di Museum London.

Mortimer Street adalah sebuah jalan di Kota Westminster. Ini membentang dari persimpangan Cavendish Place, Langham Place, dan Regent Street di barat, ke persimpangan Cleveland Street, Goodge Street, dan Newman Street di timur. Bergabung dengan Great Portland Street, Great Titchfield Street, Wells Street, Nassau Street, Berners Street, dan Berners Mews.


John Nash (1752-1835) adalah arsitek favorit Pangeran Bupati, yang kemudian menjadi Raja George IV. Di bawah naungan George, Nash merancang dan merencanakan landmark seperti Regent's Park, Regent Street, Carlton House Terrace, sebagian besar Istana Buckingham, dan Marble Arch. Marble Arch dirancang untuk menjadi pintu gerbang megah ke Istana Buckingham yang diperluas dan perayaan kemenangan Inggris yang meriah dalam Perang Napoleon – sebuah Triumphal Arch. Tapi Arch terdaftar Grade I yang kita lihat hari ini sama sekali tidak semegah yang Nash maksudkan.

Model ini, sekarang berada di Museum Victoria dan Albert, memberikan kesan bagaimana tampilan Marble Arch. Nash membuatnya untuk menggambarkan desain yang dimaksudkan untuk George IV.

Penuh dengan pahatan, termasuk patung penunggang kuda George IV yang megah memahkotai struktur, desain keseluruhan disetujui dan patung ditugaskan pada tahun 1828.

Seandainya George IV hidup sedikit lebih lama, kita pasti akan memiliki Lengkungan Marmer yang sangat berbeda hari ini.
