Extracted from Wikipedia
The Canada Gate was commissioned, in 1905, along with the gates for Buckingham Palace and two other similar, but smaller gates presented by Australia and South Africa.
The gate is in the same style as those of Buckingham Palace and bears the emblems of the seven Canadian provinces of the time.
From the Green Park website on Canada Gate
The gates were a gift from Canada, celebrating its contribution to the then British Empire. The metalwork includes the crests of Canadian provinces.
From Canada Gate into The Green Park is a wide grass path lined with trees, known as The Broadwalk. It was planted in 1905 to create a good view of the Queen Victoria Memorial from Piccadilly.
The Canada Gate can be seen in Google Street View.
