Equestrian Statue of the Duke of Wellington

The Equestrian Statue of the Duke of Wellington as you can imagine is a statue that stands in tribute to the Iron Duke and locate just outside the Bank of England building. The Iron Duke himself attended the unveiling of his statue on 18 June 1844. The same day and 26 years after the Battle of Waterloo.

This is a great statue with other historic statues close by.

Lots of seating to stop and watch the world go by and plenty of places to get food and drink close by.

Top-notch guy-on-a-horse statue. When I think of guy-on-a-horse statues, I immediately think of the Equestrian State of the Duke of Wellington. Has good seating and is located near Bank station, an excellent landmark for meeting up with people. The other day, when my girlfriend was like "Hey let's meet at the guy-on-a-horse statue," I *immediately* knew it was the Equestrian Statue of the Duke Of Wellington, because it is *such* a guy-on-a-horse statue. 10/10, highly recommended if you're into guy-on-a-horse statues.

Here you can see the Bank Of England

Historic sculpture of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington based outside The Bank of England.
Lovely little seating area nearby to relax and take in the sights.

Great place to chill and people watch with a coffee on a sunny day. Also a great spot to meet up with friends as it is easy to get to via bank station.
