From Queen Boudicca's fight against the Romans to Nelson Mandela's
struggle against apartheid, readers can walk among the statuary of
the capital and bring history to life London has more than 300
monuments which are easily unnoticed but have fascinating tales to
tell, and with detailed maps and stunning photos, this handbook is
a great way to uncover the many tales surrounding them. Where else
can visitors find a monument to an emasculated lion made from a
mysterious ceramic or the figure of an 18th-century radical thinker
who was hounded from his home by an angry mob? The monument to
Quintin Hogg commemorates one of the country's great
philanthropists who dedicated much of his life to teaching street
children and was nearly murdered several times for his efforts. The
less worthy figure of George IV has a much grander monument--which
is not surprising as he paid for the monument himself using public
funds. The good, the bad, the courageous, and the cowardly all have
a permanent place on the streets of London.
