Unveiled in 2004, the Animals in War statue was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum as a tribute to the animals that have served in the wars of the 20th century, there are two bronze mules, a horse and a dog with a panel featuring the other animals, dolphins, elephants, pigeons and glow worms (what they were used for I haven't the foggiest idea) The monument is located on Park Lane on a grassy median just south of Marble Arch and just east of Hyde Park.

Very near the Oxford Circus tube station you'll spy this tudor style building, I didn't actually realize that it was a store until I got home and looked it up but apparently it houses the Liberty Store. I was more interested in the exterior and the clock. The clock on the outside of the Liberty store features St. George, the patron saint of England, chasing the dragon, usually the dragon gets skewered in paintings and sculpture but it appears as though he survives at the Liberty Store. Perhaps he gets speared on the hour but as I was there at 10 after, I wasn't going to stick around to find out. The inscription under the clock reads "No Minute Gone Comes Ever Back Again, Take Heed And See Ye Nothing Do in Vain". I couldn't find the source for this quote, if anyone knows please drop me a note. Located at 210-220 Great Malborough Street, near Regent's Street Leave a Comment Website: http://www.liberty.co.uk/

Victoria Tower Gardens is a public park along the north bank of the River Thames - as it's name suggests, it is adjacent to the Victoria Tower, the south-western corner of the Palace of Westminster. The park extends south from the Palace to Lambeth Bridge, sandwiched between Millbank and the river, also forms part of the Thames Embankment. Leave a Comment
