Laurel and Hardy in Leicester Square, Bronze statue in Leicester Square, United Kingdom.
Laurel and Hardy in Leicester Square comprises two bronze figures positioned on a base as part of the Scenes in the Square collection. The pair are shown in a comedic pose that reflects their on-screen partnership and physical comedy style.
The bronze figures honor a comedy duo that produced over 100 films together during the 1920s through 1950s. Their work fundamentally shaped early film comedy and made them household names worldwide.
The figures stand as a tribute to early cinema and its role in shaping popular entertainment during the 1900s. You can sense how this location became central to London's film culture through the many premieres that took place nearby.
The statue sits near several theaters and the Leicester Square Underground station in central London. This location is easy to reach and offers good access to surrounding shops, restaurants, and other attractions in the area.
One figure is shown tipping his hat while the other makes a characteristic gesture that captures their physical comedy style. These details bring their on-screen personalities to life in bronze form.
