EDITORS COMMENTS
Embankment Water Gate: A Piece of Early 17th Century Architectural Splendor in the Heart of London Nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Embankment Gardens in London, the Embankment Water Gate stands as a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the city. This fine old water gate, designed by the renowned architect Inigo Jones around 1619, once served as the river entrance for York House, the grand residence of the 1st Duke of Buckingham. The Embankment Water Gate is a stunning example of early 17th century architecture, with its elegant curves and intricate details that reflect the grandeur of the time. The gatehouse, built from red brick and stone, is adorned with ornate carvings and decorative motifs, adding to its visual appeal. The gatehouse was designed by Inigo Jones, a pioneer in the field of classical architecture in England, who is known for his work on the Banqueting House in Whitehall and the Queen's House in Greenwich. The Embankment Water Gate is a lesser-known but equally impressive work of his, showcasing his ability to blend form and function in a harmonious manner. The Embankment Water Gate was once the grand entrance to York House, which was a significant political and social hub during the early 17th century. The house was renowned for its opulence and was the site of many grand events and gatherings. The water gate provided a grand entrance for visitors arriving by river, adding to the prestige of the residence. Today, the Embankment Water Gate stands as a reminder of London's rich history and the architectural prowess of the past. The gatehouse, now a Grade I listed building, is a popular attraction for visitors to the Embankment Gardens and a source of inspiration for architects and historians alike.
