Built as a monument to the British Navy and a memorial to Queen Victoria, Admiralty Arch is one of London's most notable landmarks. For Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953, her procession came through Admiralty Arch on the way from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace (pictured below). Future James Bond creator Ian Fleming worked as personal assistant to the Director of the Naval Intelligence Division at Admiralty Arch. During the Cold War, Admiralty Arch appeared in two spy films, The Ipcress File and The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.
