Once upon a time, London had many statues of Henry VIII 👑

But over the centuries, nearly all vanished.

Most were destroyed in the 17th century during the English Civil War, when Parliamentarian forces (who opposed the monarchy) tore down or defaced royal symbols. Statues of monarchs were seen as reminders of royal power at a time when England was fighting to limit it.

Others were simply lost to time - removed as buildings changed hands, damaged, or replaced when fashions and politics shifted.

Today, only one outdoor statue of the infamous king survives in the entire city.

Hundreds of years later, it still watches over London, a lone reminder of the monarch who reshaped England forever.

Ever spotted it?

Join our Tudors tour to uncover its location and get to know more hidden history.
