Might be a blessing for the arch. Its in a lousy location right now
and since its not in its original location anyway a precedent has
already been set. Perhaps if it is moved the area might revert to its
old name of Tyburn , who knows!

I bet that we'll continue to call the place Marble Arch even after the
arch has gone, in the same way as the Strand wasn't renamed after it was
no longer the riverbank.

And if they move it to Hyde Park Corner, then all the idiot tourists too
stupid to read a map who think that the Wellington arch is Marble Arch
would be less confused.
