Archway Architecture

Since my arrival to London I have noticed multiple archways in various shapes, styles and locations. My first day in this new city I was taken on a tour of the area surrounding our new home and found this beautiful "mews" which my RA Seb pointed out. These mews are typically small narrow streets usually with flats on both sides. This particular mews stood out to me because of the stone archway that leads into it. After being in London for a little over a week now I can confidently say I have fallen in love with all archways and the beauty that they protect.  Since seeing this beautiful view I have noticed that archways are a common choice of design. I have so far captured pictures (see below) of stone archways leading into quaint mews, archways covered by vines in Kensington  gardens and archways on my elegant pastry dish at The Orangery tea room. It is now safe to say that I will be continuing to keep my eyes open for all archways in my charming new city.
