Notes
The new Royal Entrance was designed by Soane in a Gothic style with battlements, pinnacles, buttresses and Tudor arches. In this version of the design, the arches are open and have railings. The House of Lords had been re-faced in a much-criticised Gothic style by James Wyatt between 1800 and 1812 and can be seen behind the arcade.
