Canada Gate, Grade I listed gate in Westminster, United Kingdom

Canada Gate is a wrought iron structure in Westminster featuring five ornamental passages with gilded metalwork. The Portland stone supports on either side display provincial shields from across Canada.

The Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts built this memorial entrance in 1905 as Canada's tribute to Queen Victoria. The gate represents a moment when the dominion sought to honor its bond with the British monarchy.

The gate forms part of an architectural ensemble connecting Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace through The Mall and the Victoria Memorial scheme.

The gate sits at the junction with Constitution Hill and provides formal access to Green Park. It closes during official state movements from Buckingham Palace.

The provincial shields include territories that joined Canadian Confederation after the gate was completed. This makes it a physical record of the nation's changing borders.
