Statue of George V, Royal monument in Old Palace Yard, Westminster, England.
The stone statue of George V stands 10 feet tall on a pedestal, positioned south of Westminster Abbey and across from the House of Lords.
William Reid Dick sculpted this monument in 1937, but it remained hidden in a quarry during World War II to protect it from bombing raids.
This Grade II listed structure forms part of London's collection of royal statues, representing the monarch who led Britain through World War I.
The memorial stands in a wheelchair accessible area of Old Palace Yard, allowing visitors to view it from multiple angles throughout the day.
The statue's original design included an ornate Gothic canopy that was later removed following public consultation and architectural modifications.
