Marble Arch has recently been restored after nearly two years of intensive work. The scaffolding has been removed, revealing a pristine building that radiates beauty. Key restoration efforts included the removal of invasive plants, repointing with traditional lime mortar, and repairing original features. Funding came from advertising on a shroud surrounding the arch during cleaning. The upgrades, including a new roof and restoration of lanterns, aim to prolong the building's life, especially with improving environmental conditions reducing pollution and wear.
Over the past couple of years, the invasive plants that had got into the building were removed, and some previous poor repairs redone in a more sensitive manner.
This vital conservation work will mean that Londoners and visitors to the capital can continue to enjoy this remarkable structure for many generations to come.
