Statue of Charles de Gaulle, Bronze memorial statue in Carlton Gardens, City of Westminster, United Kingdom
The statue portrays Charles de Gaulle wearing a brigadier-general uniform, standing tall at a prominent location within the Carlton Gardens landscape.
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother unveiled this bronze statue in 1993, near the building where Charles de Gaulle established the Free French government during World War II.
This monument represents the strong connection between France and Britain, with annual ceremonies held by the French Embassy to honor de Gaulle's contributions.
The statue stands at the intersection of Carlton Gardens and The Mall, maintained by English Heritage and accessible through nearby St James's Park tube station.
Angela Conner created this statue as part of a reciprocal arrangement that led to the installation of Winston Churchill's statue in Paris five years later.
