Memorial to Peter the Great, Historic memorial at Glaisher Street in Deptford, United Kingdom.
The bronze statue features Peter the Great in 17th-century attire with a tricorn hat, holding a pipe and telescope near the River Thames.
The memorial marks Peter the Great's four-month stay in England during 1698, when he studied shipbuilding techniques at the Deptford royal shipyard.
Russian artist Mihail Chemiakin created three bronze sculptures, including the central figure of Peter, a decorative throne, and a court dwarf statue.
Located near public transportation, the memorial stands on a marble platform with inscriptions in English and Russian describing Peter's journey.
The platform features unusual decorative elements, including depictions of food and drink, plus bronze cannons mounted on stone plinths at each end.
