Statue of Lord Byron

United Kingdom

A statue of Lord Byron is situated at Hyde Park Corner in London. It was made of bronze to the design of Richard Claude Belt and sits upon a marble plinth. The marble used to make the plinth was given as a gift by the people of Greece for Byron's participation in the Greek War of Independence. The monument is Grade II listed, and commemorates the romantic poet and writer Lord Byron. He sits in a meditative pose alongside his Landseer dog Boatswain. The statue is said to poorly resemble Byron and is sometimes regarded as the "worst statue in London".
