Admiralty Arch is a landmark building in London providing road and pedestrian access between The Mall, which extends to the southwest, and Trafalgar Square to the northeast. Admiralty Arch was commissioned by King Edward VII in memory of his mother, Queen Victoria, and designed by Aston Webb (Wikipedia).
In Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street" (1923), it's one of the many places Mrs. Dalloway passes as she walks to Bond Street: "She had passed through the Admiralty Arch and saw at the end of the empty road with its thin trees Victoria's white mound." The specificity of places in the story enables the reader to accurately map where Mrs. D walks.
