St George in concentration 

St George on horseback slaying a dragon as part of the Bronze centre gates of Marble Arch.

Largely inspired by the Constantine Arch in Rome; Marble Arch was designed by John Nash after George IV defeated Napolean - as a gate to Buckingham Palace and but in 1832.

When an extension was made to Buckingham Palace it was moved to its location (now a traffic island...) at the junction of Oxford Street; Park Lane and Edgeware Road.

It was also a Police Station at the turn of the 20th Century!
