Lancaster Gate Memorial Cross, War memorial in Lancaster Gate, City of Westminster, England.
The Portland limestone memorial consists of a tall column topped with a golden cross and features eight niches containing statues of saints.
The memorial was unveiled in March 1921 by the Bishop of Kensington to commemorate Metropolitan Borough of Paddington residents who died in World War I.
The memorial incorporates statues of Saint George representing England and Saint Louis representing France, along with six warrior saints of Christendom.
The structure underwent complete restoration after storm damage in 1987 and was relocated to its current position during the Lancaster Gate improvement works.
The memorial fund established in January 1919 collected £1362, with £921 specifically designated for the construction of this monument.
