Melissa, Andy, and I went on this walk along the Thames and the district that houses England’s political power – Houses of Parliament, Cabinet War Rooms, et cetera. We walked along the Thames looking at every single statue in the Victoria Embankment Garden and I was impressed with the range of national heroes that they displayed.
The statues displayed the variety of English pride with war heroes, religious figures, social activists, and even a shout out to Psychology with John Stuart Mills! We continued on through the area and found many statues commemorating the women of WWII, cavalry, parachuters, and many other groups of people. I think it is a little scary to have all that power concentrated in one area – I am surprised that it was all not destroyed during the Blitz.
