Memorials and statues in London
Had a trip to London last Thursday (28/08/2025) as our Chris was singing with Mumbles A Cappella choir as part of Evensong at Westminster Abbey! We of course didn`t want to miss to chance to see them perform at such a prestigious venue, so flew over; the trip also gave Debbie the chance to see her family in Kent for the first time in ages.
This was the first time I`d been to London in over 20yrs, we decided not to do museums, but just to have a general walkabout - The Strand, Covent Garden, along the Thames embankment, then we crossed over at the Houses of Parliment to the old GLC building then walked along that bank to the next bridge and crossed back. We made our way to the Abbey, but still had 40mins to kill, so wandered down Whitehall to the Cenotaph, then back past the entrance to Downing Street and into the Abbey for the Evensong.
Being the capital, of course you can`t help but trip over numerous memorials to the UKs military past, I didn`t intend to photograph any, but ended up taking a few images:
