Apsley Way is the formal name for the pathway which runs under Wellington Arch.

Wellington Arch was built as an original entrance to Buckingham Palace, later becoming a victory arch proclaiming Wellington’s defeat of Napoleon. Crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe, it depicts the Angel of Peace descending on the ’Quadriga’ - or four-horsed chariot - of War.

Apsley Way is named after Apsley House which was the nearby home of the Duke of Wellington.
