Description
The Buckingham Gate Lodge, along with its gate piers, gates, and railings, was built between 1900 and 1901 by Sir Aston Webb as part of his design for the Victoria Memorial-Mall-Buckingham Palace "rond point." The lodge and piers are made of Portland stone, while the gates and railings are cast iron, featuring ornate Beaux Arts detailing. The single-storey lodge has a segmental pediment and is flanked by tall pairs of pedestrian gates and panelled piers topped with ball finials. This structure is situated on an island at the junction of Birdcage Walk and the Buckingham Palace rond point approach, which is also ornately gated. The gates and piers at this location match the design of those flanking the lodge and connect to the railings of Buckingham Palace to the north and the Wellington Barracks to the south.
