| Description |
<a href="http://www.londonremembers.com/memorials/achilles-statue" rel="nofollow">Achilles Statue</a> by Sir Richard Westmacott (1822), part of the Wellington Monument, Hyde Park, Westminster, London (<a href="http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-406533-the-achilles-statue-off-park-lane-to-nor" rel="nofollow">Grade II</a>). Erected in 1822 in honour of the Duke of Wellington. This was London's first public (male?) nude sculpture since antiquity, which resulted in much controversy. He has a fig leaf to cover his modesty, but there are conflicting claims that it was added to quell the public's outrage or that it was there from the outset. GOC Hertfordshire's walk on 12 November 2016, a 7.4-mile point-to-point walk to look at various artworks, statues and memorials in parts of the London Borough of Lambeth and City of Westminster in London, including Lambeth, Westminster, Belgravia and Hyde Park. John T led the walk, which was attended by 13 people in total (and a dog).
