Hyde Park Corner During The Coronovirus Lockdown

Wellington Arch, a 19th-century memorial arch topped by a bronze sculpture, Hyde Park Corner on 16th April 2020 in London, United Kingdom. Normally crowded with people London is like a ghost town as workers stay home under lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic. During the second half of the 1820s, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the King resolved that Hyde Park, and the area around it, must be renovated to the extent of the splendour of rival European capital cities, and that the essence of the new arrangement would be a triumphal approach to Buckingham Palace. Changes to the road layout in the 1990s reinstated a route between Hyde Park and the Green Park for pedestrians, cyclists and horseriders using surface-level crossings.
