Top 7 Monuments & Statues in Bloomsbury, England
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

This bust tucked away in a quiet corner of Gordon Square is a fitting memorial to one of the unsung heroines of the last war. She was one of the SOE spies parachuted into France to bolster the French resistance and to coordinate sabotage activities against the occupying German forces. Sadly, she was caught and eventually executed at the notorious Dachau concentration camp. Seeing this statue is an emotional reminder of the sacrifices so many brave people made to resist Fascism in the 20th century.

This is very definitely a marmite sculpture; you’ll either love it or hate it. Because the station is so huge and there are no signs to the statue, it’s surprisingly hard to find even though it’s so big at around 9m high. Must people come into the station straight onto the shopping concourse or through the entrance opposite Kings Cross station, while this is a long, long away on the Grand Terrace under the clock. I actually preferred the sculptures on the frieze round the base, which depict many scenes of everyday life and are beautifully cast in bronze. But very worthwhile tracking it down.
