Dotted around are chairs from previous coronations, each one belonging to a different monarch. And then framing the whole thing is this fabulously ornate arch, complete with winged Victories holding up swags and medallions. It's like something you might find framing a West End stage.
Today, it's hard to imagine this spot as it was 500 years ago. Back then, it was no more than a quiet backwater, regularly flooded by a river, now long forgotten, the Tyburn River. Hidden deep beneath the crowded streets, the river still flows.这个房间实际是个剧院，华盖上有中世纪主堂的回音，还摆放着历次加冕典礼时使用的椅子。每一把椅子都属于不同的君主，整个装饰的的精华之处，就是这个异常华丽的拱门连同举着花环和大勋章的胜利女神。这种装饰，也许你在伦敦西区也能找到。
今天很难想象，这里就是500年前的那个地方，那个时候，这里也只是一汪回水。河里定期漫灌，但现在已被遗忘了。泰班河，在熙熙攘攘街道之下，它仍流淌不息
