The Statue That Never Moved!

Have you ever wondered where the very centre of London is?
Standing proudly at Charing Cross is the magnificent equestrian statue of King Charles I and this spot has traditionally been used as the point from which distances to London are measured.

But here's what makes this monument particularly remarkable, it’s the oldest bronze equestrian statue in London, created in 1633 by French sculptor Hubert Le Sueur.

Originally commissioned for Charles I while he was still on the throne, the statue found itself in serious trouble after the English Civil War. Following the King's ex*****on in 1649, Parliament ordered it to be destroyed and melted down.

But fortunately, someone had other ideas. Rather than destroy the magnificent sculpture, a resourceful metalsmith hid it away…

When Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, the statue was brought back into the light and eventually erected at Charing Cross in 1675.

Through revolutions, wars, political upheaval, pollution and centuries of London traffic, Charles I has continued to watch over one of the capital's busiest crossroads.

This piece of art is climbing the side of a building!

Look up as you stroll along Borough High Street and you'll spot three vivid cobalt-blue figures scaling the walls of Maya House, each carrying a golden musical instrument. The installation, Walls and Trumpets, was created by internationally acclaimed Israeli artist Ofra Zimbalista and installed in 2007 to transform this ordinary office building into something extraordinary.
All we have to say is: mission accomplished.

The artwork has become one of Borough's most recognisable hidden gems, stopping visitors in their tracks as they wonder how the mysterious blue musicians found themselves halfway up the building. Adding to the charm, the sculpture sits opposite the historic Blue Maid pub, creating an unexpected splash of colour in one of London's oldest neighbourhoods.

Curiosities like this are hidden in plain sight all over London, which ones have you seen?

Most sundials simply tell the time, while London's tells the story of an entire city.

Standing just outside Tower Hill Underground Station is one of the capital's most overlooked treasures, a remarkable sundial unveiled in 1992 by architect John Chitty and sculptor Edwin Russell. At first glance, it appears to be an elegant public timepiece. Look a little closer and you'll discover something far more fascinating.

The circular stone design is packed with miniature carvings that chart nearly 2,000 years of London's history. Among the details you'll even find Shakespeare's Globe, a tiny depiction of Margaret Thatcher, and many other hidden references waiting to be discovered.

Uncover the details at Tower Hill on a private tour from Black Cab Heritage Tours.
