Why it's Wildland
2.5A bronze King Edward VII, dressed in Field Marshal’s uniform, sits astride a horse above a Portland stone pedestal. The Grade II listed statue was made in 1924 by Sir Bertram Mackennal.
A compact piece of public-facing heritage rather than a nature destination: its interest lies in the equestrian sculpture, its sculptor and its listed status. Worth a brief look if you are already exploring Waterloo Place; it does not support a longer Wildland outing on the available evidence.
