The gateway was originally located at the entrance to St George's Hospital when it was at Hyde Park Corner. The Public Monuments & Sculpture Association has a photograph of it, when it was at Tooting but "on a traffic island in front of the main entrance to the Grosvenor Wing", before it was moved to its current, rather hidden location. The bust on top is a replica of one by Sir Alfred Gilbert, the original of which is inside this Tooting Hospital.
