Queen Elizabeth Gate
The Queen Mother Gates - officially known as the 'Queen Elizabeth Gate' - lead into The Carriage Road in Hyde Park from Park Lane and are located to the rear of Apsley House at Hyde Park Corner.
The Queen Mother Gates where opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 6 July 1993. They where built by money raised by a number of benefactors and public donors under the patronage of HRH Prince Michael of Kent to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
The six gates, railings and lamps are made from forged stainless steel and bronze to designs by the noted metal artist / sculptor Giuseppe Lund. The design of the gates is meant to span the styles of the 20th Century with a formal and symmetrical lower section which evolves into an organic freedom at the top.
