GEORGE THE FOURTH’S GATE, HYDE PARK CORNER.

[Entrance to the Green Park, St. James’s.]

This fine gate, which was completed about five years since, after a design by Mr. Decimus Burton, was originally intended for a private entrance to the New Palace. Within the last few months it has been devoted to a purpose of more general utility, the road from Constitution Hill having been turned so as to allow access through the gate to those carriages which have the privilege of passing through the park, and also to foot-passengers. A new lodge has recently been erected in James Street, opening to the road connecting Pimlico with Great George Street, Westminster; and this road is free to horsemen and private carriages without distinction.
