London Troops War Memorial, War memorial at Bank junction, City of London, United Kingdom
The Portland stone column stands 7.5 meters high, featuring bronze statues of soldiers representing the Royal Fusiliers and Royal Field Artillery.
The memorial was unveiled on November 12, 1920, one day after the Unknown Warrior burial ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Bronze figures on both sides depict infantry soldiers at ease with rifles, symbolizing the sacrifice of London troops during both World Wars.
Located directly outside Bank tube station in front of the Royal Exchange, the memorial includes inscriptions listing all London regiments involved.
The clerks from the Bank of England voluntarily maintained the floral tributes left at the memorial for many years after its inauguration.
