Commemorating London | Who should we honour?

On 26 February the London Society and London Historians are holding an event about statues and monuments in the capital. As well as announcing the winner of the award for London’s least favourite statue, we’ll be celebrating some of the people, events and things that are not currently commemorated. If you have someone or something that you feel passionately about and would be happy to talk to a warm, friendly audience for five minutes or so, please email us – we’d be delighted to have you on board. It could be a big name (Dickens has no public statue for example), a forgotten hero or heroine, a plea for more monuments to women, or to commemorate an important event. Whatever it is, get in touch.
