Watch for the daily horse parades. If you are at the Intercontinential, then you can watch these from the Club Room. Also a good place to stake out to watch the horse parade since the crowds are really thinned out here. More

Eastern European migrants are arriving in London in "unprecedented" numbers, flooding the capital with beggars, pickpockets and prostitutes before the Olympics, officials have warned. Organised crime gangs are believed to be transporting coach loads of Romanians into the country with instructions to work a pre-allocated "pitch". Some are understood to have come armed with Google Map print-outs of Marble Arch,... More

The Marble Arch was the first attraction we encountered upon arriving in London on a cold foggy morning. You'll run across it as soon as you jump off the tube stop of the same name. It's situated near a roundabout near Park and Oxford St. Be very careful when crossing the streets, as to a foreigner of England, they appear... More

Poor Marble Arch has been isolated on a roundabout at the confluence of Oxford Street and Park Lane... sure, it looks great - but it is surrounded by traffic smell and noise. More

It's a great starting or meeting place, since it's accessible by Tube, bus or cab. You may start shopping along Oxford Street and/or find your spot to relax in the green areas surrounding it. Hyde Park (Speaker's Corner) is just across the street. My favorite thing is to buy takeaway food, sit in the park and watch people go by... More

This impressive Archway forms a gate to the north end of Hyde Park. Coming up to 200 years in age (well, almost!), the arch is flanked by lovely trees on either side and a has beautiful courtyard lined with seats on the south side. The arch was very busy as people come and go through this busy part of London.... More

Hyde Park is full of Statues and Memorials. We found the Marble Arch at the Northeast corner of the Park. It is an interesting piece of architecture and is near Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park. More
