The Westminster Borough of London, which includes much of the city’s fashionable West End, boasts a large concentration of public sculptures, including war memorials, commemorative monuments, fountains, and other prominent works of art. Public Sculpture of Historic Westminster: Volume I documents nearly three hundred of these works, with illustrations and details of construction, selections of artists and sites, and conservation history. In the case of statues commemorating public figures, a brief biography is also provided focusing on the achievements celebrated. Additional sections discuss the use of Parliament Square, Trafalgar Square, and the Victoria Embankment as sites for commemoration.
