Statue of Robert Clive, Bronze statue at King Charles Street in Whitehall, London, United Kingdom
The statue stands on a high plinth adorned with bronze reliefs depicting three significant military events from Robert Clive's career in India.
Sir William Forwood initiated the creation of this memorial in 1907 through a letter to The Times, noting the absence of London monuments to Clive.
The bronze reliefs on the statue's base illustrate the Siege of Arcot, the Battle of Plassey, and the Treaty of Allahabad from British-Indian relations.
Visitors can examine the inscriptions on the west face of the plinth, which display Clive's surname along with his birth and death dates from 1725 to 1774.
The statue underwent relocation in 1916 from its initial position outside Gwydyr House to its current location in King Charles Street.
