London's Statues and Monuments - Revised Edition

The streets and public spaces of London are rich with statues and monuments commemorating the city-s great figures and events - from Nelson-s Column in Trafalgar Square and Sir Christopher Wren-s Great Fire Monument to the charming Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens. Executed in stone, bronze and a range of other materials, London-s statues and monuments include work by some of the world-s greatest sculptors. This newly revised book takes account of the many statues erected between 2012 and 2017, including those of Mary Seacole at St Thomas- Hospital and Amy Winehouse in Camden. London-s Statues and Monuments is a fully illustrated guide to these artworks and their stories: sometimes surprising and occasionally controversial, but always fascinating.
