Description

The London Zoo War Memorial is a slender, octagonal turret that stands 5 meters tall and measures 1 meter across, set on a three-step plinth built after the war. The turret features attached shafts at the corners and tall, round-headed openings on each face. It is topped with a steep pyramidal cap that is surmounted by a cross.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
