National Windrush Monument, Bronze sculpture group in Waterloo Station, England

The monument features three bronze figures, a man, woman, and child, climbing a mountain of suitcases at London Waterloo Station platform level.

Created by Jamaican artist Basil Watson, the sculpture depicts the Caribbean immigrants in their formal attire, representing their dignity upon arrival in Britain.

The monument stands freely accessible to the public at Waterloo Station, allowing visitors to observe it while passing through the transportation hub.

Prince William unveiled this one-million-pound government-funded monument on June 22, 2022, marking the official Windrush Day celebration.
