List of public art in the City of Westminster

Map of the City of Westminster; the area covered by this list is in yellow.

There are more than 400 public artworks in the City of Westminster, a borough in central London. Those discussed in this article include freestanding statues, busts and other kinds of permanent sculpture, memorials (excluding plaques without a sculptural element on buildings), fountains, murals, gates and exterior mosaics in the City of Westminster, except for those in the former metropolitan boroughs of Paddington and St Marylebone and in two of the Royal Parks of London, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Separate articles list works in the aforementioned areas and architectural sculpture across the borough.

There is more public sculpture in the City of Westminster than in any other area of London. This reflects the borough's central location containing most of the West End, the political centres of Westminster and Whitehall and three of the Royal Parks (Green Park, Hyde Park and St James's Park, with parts also of Regent's Park and Kensington Gardens). Many of the most notable sites for commemoration in London lie within its boundaries, including Trafalgar Square, Parliament Square and the Victoria Embankment. Other monuments of note in the borough include the Albert Memorial and the Victoria Memorial. After World War I many memorials to that conflict were raised in the area, the most significant being the Grade I-listed Cenotaph in Whitehall. So great is the number of monuments in the borough that Westminster City Council has deemed an area stretching from Whitehall to St James's to be a "monument saturation zone", where the addition of new memorials is generally discouraged. The same restriction applies in Royal Parks within the borough.

In addition to the permanent works which are the subject of this article, the City of Westminster is also host to several temporary displays of sculpture. The most prominent of these is at the Fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, which has shown works by contemporary artists on rotation since 1999. Temporary outdoor displays of sculpture can also be seen at the Royal Academy and the Chelsea College of Arts. In 2010 Westminster City Council inaugurated the City of Sculpture project, which has seen contemporary sculpture installed in locations across the borough.

Aldwych / Strand

Strand is the thoroughfare that has linked the City of London with Westminster since the time of the Anglo-Saxons; Aldwych is a crescent at its eastern end created during urban improvements in the early 20th century. Among the examples of architectural sculpture in this area, of particular note are Jacob Epstein's reliefs of the Ages of Man for Zimbabwe House (originally the British Medical Association building). These figures were the sculptor's first major works in Britain and the subject of heated controversy due to their nudity in a public setting. Much of the recent public art in this area was bequeathed to the London School of Economics in 2005 by Louis Odette, a Canadian alumnus of the university, who also founded the Windsor Sculpture Park in Windsor, Ontario. He bequeathed a total of 13 works, mainly by Canadian sculptors, to the institution; not all of these are within the remit of this list, as some are situated indoors or in the adjacent borough of Camden.

More images	Statue of George III	Somerset House, Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court	1790 c. 1790	John Bacon	William Chambers	Sculptural groups	Grade I	The King, in the upper group, leans on a rudder and is flanked by a British lion and the prow of a classical barge; the Thames is represented below him as a river god. The maritime theme refers both to the function of the building, as offices for the Royal Navy (among other institutions), and to the King himself as steering the ship of state.
	Lions sejant	The Law Society, Chancery Lane	1852 (original model)	Alfred Stevens	Charles Holden	Iron railing finials	Grade II*	Copies of the figures originally designed for the (now removed) dwarf-posts outside the British Museum, incorporated by Holden into his 1902–4 Law Society extension. The same design also appears on the railings surrounding Stevens's magnum opus, the Duke of Wellington's tomb in St Paul's Cathedral (completed in 1912).
More images	Memorial to William Ewart Gladstone	Strand, in front of St Clement Danes	1905	William Hamo Thornycroft	John Lee	Memorial with statue and other sculpture	Grade II	Unveiled 4 November 1905.

Belgravia

Part of Belgravia lies outside the City of Westminster; for works not listed here see the list of public art in Kensington and Chelsea.

Belgravia is a district predominantly composed of early 19th-century residential buildings, many of which now serve diplomatic uses. Many of the figures commemorated by memorials here were influential in the early development of the area under the ownership of the Grosvenor family, later the Dukes of Westminster. The area derives its name from Belgrave Square, where the presence of several embassies has determined the strongly international character of the public art.

Charing Cross / Trafalgar Square

Charing Cross, at the junction of Strand and Whitehall, was the site of the first public monument in what is now the City of Westminster, the cross commissioned by Edward I late in the 13th century in memory of his queen, Eleanor of Castile. Destroyed by order of the Long Parliament in 1647, the Eleanor cross was replaced after the Restoration by the equestrian statue of Charles I by Hubert Le Sueur, the oldest public sculpture now standing in the borough. In 1865 a facsimile of the cross was erected in the forecourt of Charing Cross railway station. Charing Cross was declared the official centre of London in 1831 and a plaque marking this status was installed near Le Sueur's statue in 1955.

Immediately to the north of Charing Cross lies Trafalgar Square, one of London's most famous public spaces. Conceived as part of John Nash's urban improvements, the square was initially developed from the 1820s onwards. Its centrepiece, Nelson's Column, was constructed in 1839–42. Charles Barry's 1840 redesign of the square provided plinths for equestrian monuments to George IV and William IV, but sufficient funds were never raised for the latter statue. Most of the memorials since added have had a military or naval flavour, an exception being the statue of the physician Edward Jenner, erected in 1858 but moved to Kensington Gardens only four years later. Another work which originally stood on the square is Hamo Thornycroft's statue of General Gordon; this was removed during World War II and reinstalled on the Victoria Embankment in 1953. Since 1999 the formerly empty fourth plinth has become London's most prominent showcase for temporary new sculpture.

Originally commissioned in 1630 by Charles I's Lord High Treasurer, Lord Richard Weston, for his estate in Roehampton (then in Surrey). Erected on the site of the Charing Cross in 1674–5, when it was set on its current pedestal. The reliefs were carved by Joshua Marshall, Master Mason to Charles II.
More images	Statue of James II	Lawn in front of the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square	1686	Workshop of Grinling Gibbons	N/A	Statue	Grade I	Commissioned by the royal servant Tobias Rustat for a site outside the Palace of Whitehall.

More images	Statue of George IV	North-eastern plinth, Trafalgar Square	1830	Francis Legatt Chantrey	Charles Barry	Equestrian statue	Grade II	Originally intended to be the crowning feature of Marble Arch, the decorative scheme of which was cut back after George IV's death.

More images	Nelson's Column Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson	Centre of Trafalgar Square	1839–42	Edward Hodges Baily	William Railton	Statue on column	Grade I	Nelson is shown without an eyepatch, but his portrayal in this statue is not idealised by the standards of the time. The figure is given stability by the coil of rope behind. Portland stone was chosen over bronze as the statue then "would not be resorted to as plunder in revolutions".
	The Battle of Trafalgar or The Death of Nelson	South face of pedestal of Nelson's Column	1846–9	John Edward Carew	N/A	Bas-relief	Grade I	Nelson is depicted immediately after receiving his mortal wound; Captain Hardy turns back towards him whilst sailors to the left take aim at the marksman who dealt the fatal blow.

	The Battle of Cape St Vincent	West face of pedestal of Nelson's Column	1846–54	Musgrave Watson and William F. Woodington	N/A	Bas-relief	Grade I	Nelson is on board a Spanish ship, the San Nicolas. A Spanish officer kneels in front of Nelson, surrendering the swords of his fellow officers. Watson died in 1847 before he could complete the work.
More images	Statue of Charles James Napier	South-western plinth, Trafalgar Square	1855	George Gammon Adams	N/A	Statue	Grade II	Unveiled 26 November 1856. Napier holds a scroll out in his right hand, a gesture which symbolises the giving of government to Sindh. The statue was much criticised, The Art Journal calling it "perhaps the worst piece of sculpture in England".
More images	Statue of Henry Havelock	South-eastern plinth, Trafalgar Square	1861	William Behnes	N/A	Statue	Grade II	Unveiled 10 April 1861. The pedestal inscribed at the front with a quotation from one of Havelock's pre-battle speeches, and to the rear with a list of British and Indian regiments commanded by him during the Indian Mutiny.

	John Law Baker Memorial Drinking Fountain	Churchyard of St Martin-in-the-Fields	1886	?	N/A	Drinking fountain with sculpture	Grade II	A truncated fluted column with lion's-head fountains on two sides, their basins now filled in. Inscribed IN MEMORY OF JOHN LAW BAKER/ FORMERLY OF THE MADRAS ARMY/ BORN 1789—​​DIED 1886.
	William Gilson Humphry Memorial Drinking Fountain	Adelaide Street, adjacent to corner with Duncannon Street	1886	?	N/A	Drinking fountain	No listing, but wall and railings listed Grade I	A basic granite drinking fountain set into the churchyard wall of St Martin's, where Humphry was vicar from 1815 until his death in 1886. Restored with a replica bronze lion mash spout in about 1989, but this is no longer visible on the memorial.
More images	Memorial to Edith Cavell	St Martin's Place	1920	George Frampton	N/A	Pylon with sculpture	Grade I	Unveiled 17 March 1920 by Queen Alexandra. The earliest World War I memorial project in England; plans for it began soon after Cavell's death in 1915. The inscription FOR KING AND COUNTRY was felt to be a travesty of Cavell's beliefs; in 1924 another was added with her words, PATRIOTISM IS NOT ENOUGH/ I MUST HAVE NO HATRED OR/ BITTERNESS FOR ANYONE.
More images	Statue of George Washington	Lawn in front of the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square	1921	after Jean-Antoine Houdon	N/A	Statue	Grade II	Unveiled 30 June 1921.

	Jellicoe Memorial Fountain	Western fountain of Trafalgar Square	1948	Charles Wheeler	Edwin Lutyens	Fountain with two sculptural groups	Grade II*	For both memorial fountains Lutyens retained Barry's cusped quatrefoil-shaped basins and added the vase-shaped central fountains. In the Jellicoe fountain, one of the bronze groups comprises a mermaid with two merchildren and dolphins perched on a shell; the other has a triton with a merchild and dolphins on a shell.
More images	Bust of David Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty	Balustrade of Trafalgar Square	1948	William McMillan	Edwin Lutyens	Bust	Grade II*	During the 2003 refurbishment of the square the busts were moved to the eastern side of the new steps; they previously faced their associated fountains.

Green Park

Green Park is one of London's Royal Parks and lies between Hyde Park and St James's Park. Much of the present landscaping is the result of remodelling by John Nash in the 1820s, and the park had been cleared of its buildings, dating to the time of Queen Caroline, by 1855. Governments have traditionally been reluctant to situate memorials in the Royal Parks, and there were none in Green Park until the installation of the Canada Memorial in 1994. Since then two further war memorials have been added, with the second (dedicated to the memory of RAF Bomber Command) drawing criticism for "the un-greening of this section of Green Park".

	Gates	Piccadilly	1735 c. 1735	attributed to Jean Montigny	Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington	Gates and piers	Grade II*	Wrought-iron gates with piers in the Palladian style, originally from a house at Turnham Green belonging to Lord Heathfield. When this was demolished in 1837 they were bought for Chiswick House, but in 1897 they were removed to Devonshire House, which was owned by the same family. This in turn was demolished in 1921, after which the gates were moved to their present site. Restored in 2000.

Mayfair

Mayfair is a residential and commercial area dominated by terraces of town houses. In Grosvenor Square there are several memorials with an American theme, including a memorial garden commemorating the September 11 attacks, due to the presence on that square of the US Embassy. At the southern end of the district, the courtyard of Burlington House (home of the Royal Academy) on Piccadilly is frequently used as a temporary exhibition space for artworks.

Regent's Park

See the list of public art in St Marylebone.

St James's / St James's Park

The aristocratic district of St James's lies to the north of St James's Park, a former hunting ground attached to St James's Palace. The Mall, marking the northern boundary of the park, was transformed into a major thoroughfare in the 1900s by Aston Webb as part of the national memorial to Queen Victoria. Its focal point looking west is the Victoria Memorial designed by Thomas Brock, one of several memorials set along its axis from the early 20th century onwards. To the east The Mall joins John Nash's processional route (which originally connected Carlton House to Regent's Park) at Carlton House Terrace. The part of this route within St James's includes Waterloo Place, described as "one of the more dramatic pieces of town planning in London" and lined with statues and memorials mainly of a military character. Elsewhere in the district, the Economist Plaza hosted changing displays of contemporary sculpture in the early 21st century; this programme came to an end in 2010 after running for over ten years.

Soho

Soho is an area first developed in the 1670s which, since the construction of theatres along Shaftesbury Avenue in the 19th century, has had a strong association with the entertainment industry. In the south of the district stands Leicester Square, the public sculpture of which has had an eventful history. From 1748 the square had as it centrepiece an equestrian figure of George I, but this deteriorated and was sold off at the beginning of the following century. In 1874 the square was bought by Albert Grant, a company promoter and MP, who had its gardens made over to a design by James Knowles. This saw the installation of the Shakespeare fountain and busts of four historical residents of the locale, positioned near the sites of their former homes. A renovation of the square carried out between 2010 and 2012 was criticised for its removal of all of the sculptures on the square except for that of Shakespeare.

Victoria

Victoria is roughly described as the area around Victoria station. It includes the conservation areas of Broadway and Christchurch Gardens, Grosvenor Gardens and the environs of Westminster Cathedral. Particularly noteworthy examples of architectural sculpture can be found at 55 Broadway, where in 1928–9 sculptors including Eric Gill and Henry Moore were engaged on representations of the Four Winds; two further figures, Night and Day, were carved by Jacob Epstein. A great deal of public art by recent graduates of art schools in London was incorporated into Cardinal Place, a development of 2005.

Victoria Embankment

The Victoria Embankment is a road and river-walk on the north bank of the River Thames, formed from land reclaimed during the construction of Joseph Bazalgette's sewerage system in the late 19th century. From 1864 a sequence of public gardens called the Victoria Embankment Gardens was created from this land. Running from north-east to south-west these are called Temple Gardens, the Main Garden, the Whitehall Garden and finally the Ministry of Defence section; the last of these was laid out in 1939–59. All four gardens contain works of commemorative sculpture and more memorials are on the river-walk or road itself, making the Embankment one of the principal sites for commemoration in London. Some of these memorials lie outside the borough's boundaries, in the City of London.

Westminster

Westminster, which gives the borough its name, lies to the south-west of Charing Cross; it is the location of Westminster Abbey and the Palace of Westminster, which together with St Margaret's parish church comprise a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area's main sculptural showcase is Parliament Square, conceived in the 1860s to improve the setting of the rebuilt Houses of Parliament, to ease traffic flow and as a site for commemorating politicians of note. Carlo Marochetti's statues of the engineers Robert Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel were initially considered for the square, but were rejected as not fitting in with the political theme; they were ultimately erected outside Euston station and on the Victoria Embankment. The square took on its present configuration in a refurbishment of 1949–50 by the architect George Grey Wornum, though three statues of twentieth-century figures which have since been added. Another two political memorials (one of which, the Buxton Memorial Fountain, was moved by Wornum from Parliament Square) and The Burghers of Calais, a work on an historical theme by Auguste Rodin, are to be found in Victoria Tower Gardens.

Whitehall

Whitehall, a street that takes its name from the royal palace destroyed in 1698, is the ceremonial route linking Trafalgar Square with the Palace of Westminster and is lined with government buildings. It is also at the centre of the highest concentration of memorials in the City of Westminster, in which 47% of the total number of such works in the borough are located. The wider area of Whitehall also includes Horse Guards Parade, another important ceremonial space, and Horse Guards Road, which forms its western boundary with St James's Park. The area's monuments are predominantly military in character, foremost among them being the Cenotaph, which is the focal point of the national Remembrance Sunday commemorations held each year.

More images	Cenotaph	Whitehall	1920	Francis Derwent Wood	Edwin Lutyens	Memorial	Grade I	Unveiled 11 November (Armistice Day) 1920 by George V.

It commemorates the dead of both world wars.
More images	Statue of Garnet Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley	Horse Guards Road	1920	William Goscombe John	Richard Allison	Equestrian statue	Grade II	Unveiled 25 June 1920 by the Duke of Connaught.

More images	Statue of Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig	Whitehall	1937	Alfred Frank Hardiman	Stephen Rowland Pierce	Equestrian statue	Grade II*	Unveiled 10 November 1937.

The statue stands on a pedestal at the centre of a low stepped pyramid, a scheme much reduced in ambition from Belsky's competition-winning design which included fountains representing the four seas. The financial constraints and "a very restrictive brief" resulted in a finished work which dissatisfied the sculptor.
More images	Statue of William Slim, 1st Viscount Slim	Whitehall, outside the Ministry of Defence	1990	Ivor Roberts-Jones	David Kindersley (lettering)	Statue	N/A	Unveiled 28 April 1990 by Elizabeth II. Roberts-Jones had fought in the Burma Campaign of World War II, in which Slim was a commander.

Artworks in series

In addition to the works listed above, the City of Westminster has several artworks which are part of large series scattered over a wide area. As they are too numerous to be listed individually, they are discussed here.

In 1997 the artist Rick Buckley began attaching plaster casts of his own nose to buildings in London as a comment on the increasing presence of CCTV cameras across the city. His actions were not publicised until 2011, by which time a number of urban myths concerning the noses had been contrived. One of these told of the "Seven Noses of Soho" (though there were more than seven such installations, and they were not confined to that district), which would bring "infinite wealth" to any person able to find every one.

In 2013 Mark Wallinger, an artist associated with the YBA movement, was invited to produce an artwork to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground. He devised a scheme which involved installing panels with designs of labyrinths in vitreous enamel on all 270 Underground stations. The works are numbered according to the order in which their stations were visited in a particular record-breaking journey of 2009 which took in every station on the network. In all there 32 works in the series in the City of Westminster, one for every station except Paddington, which has two panels.
