Agatha Christie Memorial, Bronze sculpture in Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom.

The memorial features a 2.4-meter-high bronze structure shaped like a book with Christie's figure at its center, displaying titles in multiple languages.

Westminster City Council approved the memorial's construction, and it was unveiled on November 25, 2012, marking the 60th anniversary of The Mousetrap play.

This monument stands in London's theatre district, commemorating Christie's achievement as the first female playwright with three concurrent West End productions.

The memorial includes internal and external lighting systems that illuminate the structure during evening hours, making it visible to visitors after sunset.

The bronze book contains inscriptions of Christie's works in various languages, including Braille, reflecting the global reach of her literary contributions.
