Islington Green War Memorial, War memorial at Islington Green, United Kingdom.
The memorial features a twisted stone ring made from Fujian province stone, weighing 8 tonnes and incorporating inscriptions on surrounding ground slabs.
The structure replaced a 1918 concrete obelisk with bronze plaques in 2007, maintaining the original commemorative purpose for World War casualties.
The memorial includes inscriptions reading Sea, Air, Home, Land, with five Victoria Cross plaques placed in the esplanade to honor specific individuals.
The memorial underwent repairs in 2013 to address foundation issues that caused the structure to sink into the ground.
The stone ring design by John Maine represents a modern interpretation of traditional wreaths used in military commemorations.
