Debate | Commemorating London

Join us in a pub to discuss the London sculptures that should never have been erected – and the commemorations that are long overdue.

The London Society and London Historians have been running a poll to find the public artwork that is the capital’s least popular, and the ‘winner’ will be announced this evening. 

London has many wonderful public statues and sculptures, but many that are ill-advised, bland, out of place, trite or just plain bad. Tonight you will find out whether others share your opinion.


We’ll also be having some positivity throughout the evening, with a range of speakers making a case for the people, things or events that are not currently memorialised and which should be.

Last year’s pub debate was a fun night for all, and we look forward to you coming along and taking part this evening.

This event has passed.
