The Mall is the most famous road in Britain. It leads from Trafalgar Square through Admiralty Arch along the edge of St. James’ Park to Buckingham Palace. The road has long been a place for people to congregate on days of national significance, be that the end of a war, coronation of a monarch or death of a royal. There is thought to have been a road on the site since the seventeenth Century. When a foreign leader visits Buckingham Palace it is etiquette for the hundreds of flagpoles lining the route to be adorned with that nations flag.
