Statue of Margaret Thatcher, Houses of Parliament, Bronze statue in Members' Lobby, Palace of Westminster, United Kingdom
The bronze statue measures 2.23 meters in height and portrays Margaret Thatcher with her right arm extended while holding papers in her left hand.
The statue was unveiled on February 21, 2007, following modifications to parliamentary regulations that permitted representations of living prime ministers under specific conditions.
Members of Parliament received instructions in 2013 to stop touching the statue's toes, as this practice was causing physical deterioration to the sculpture.
The bronze sculpture weighs 451 kilograms and stands near other statues of former British prime ministers in the Members' Lobby of Westminster Palace.
During the unveiling ceremony, Margaret Thatcher referenced the statue's material with humor, noting that while she preferred iron, bronze would suffice as it resists rust.
