[Illustration: 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.
