Constitution Hill

Constitution Hill

51° 30′ 09″ N 0° 08′ 47″ W / 51.5024, -0.1464 Constitution Hill est une avenue de Londres. Elle se trouve dans la Cité de Westminster et relie The Mall à Hyde Park Corner par une légère montée. L'avenue est bordée par Green Park au nord, et par les jardins de Buckingham Palace, au sud. C'est de cette légère pente que l'avenue tient son nom : Constitution Hill (Hill signifiant en anglais « colline », bien que ce terme soit inapproprié puisqu’il s’agit en fait d’une pente à peine détectable).
On peut voir un récent mémorial de guerre, dédié aux soldats du Commonwealth, en haut de cette artère. Plusieurs statues la longe également.

Arc de Wellington se trouve dans l’axe de Constitution Hill, dans les jardins de Hyde Park Corner. Alors qu’autrefois, il se trouvait un peu plus loin à une centaine de mètres, au bout de la Grosvenor Place face à l’entrée principale de Hyde Park.
