You're standing at Apsley House, on the corner of Hyde Park at Hyde Park Corner. In the middle of the busy roundabout in front of you is the Wellington Arch. This grand house was the London home of the Duke of Wellington, the man who beat Napoleon at Waterloo. And his family still lives here, sort of.
