Statue of Clement Attlee, Bronze statue at Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom

The life-sized bronze sculpture depicts Clement Attlee wearing a suit and holding a copy of the National Assistance Act of 1948.

Created by Frank Forster in 1988, the statue first stood at Limehouse Library before its relocation to Queen Mary University of London in 2011.

The statue represents Clement Attlee, who established the National Health Service and served as Prime Minister from 1945 to 1951.

Located on Mile End Road campus, the statue stands next to the People's Palace where Attlee received news of his electoral victory.

The statue underwent restoration after vandalism at its previous location, leading to its permanent placement at the university grounds.
