Description

The Boadicea (Boudicca) Statuary Group is a statue located on the Victoria Embankment in the City of Westminster. Created in the 1850s by sculptor Thomas Thornycroft, it was unveiled in 1902 based on designs by Sir T. G. Jackson. This bronze sculpture features three figures in a two-horse chariot, showcasing a dramatic, Beaux Arts Romantic style. It is positioned on a granite pedestal at the top of the steps leading to Westminster Bridge.
