Quintin and Alice Hogg Memorial
Quintin and Alice Hogg Memorial, Bronze memorial in Portland Place, London, United Kingdom.
The Quintin and Alice Hogg Memorial is a bronze sculpture mounted on a Portland limestone plinth along Portland Place in central London. The composition depicts Quintin Hogg with two boys and stands across from BBC Broadcasting House, where the public space is defined by this artistic work.
Sculptor George Frampton created the memorial in 1906 to honor Quintin Hogg, founder of Regent Street Polytechnic, and his wife Alice. The work was later expanded with commemorative plaques for members who died in the First and Second World Wars.
The memorial bears inscriptions honoring both Quintin and Alice Hogg for their educational contributions and remembering Polytechnic members lost in both World Wars. The inscriptions tell of the deep bond between the couple and their institution, which shaped generations of students.
The memorial stands on Portland Place in central London and is easily reached from Oxford Circus station nearby. Being located on a busy street means visitors can pass by at any time to view the sculpture and inscriptions.
The memorial's inscriptions include Latin phrases like 'pro patria' that honor war losses while also highlighting the couple's generosity in educational work. This blend of personal remembrance and shared mourning creates a layered tribute.
