Temple Bar Memorial in centre of road

The Temple Bar Memorial is located in the center of the road and marks the boundary of the City of London. It was unveiled in 1880 on the site of the 17th-century Temple Bar gateway, which was dismantled in 1878 and later moved to Theobalds Park in Hertfordshire by Sir Henry and Lady Valerie Meux in the late 1880s. In 2004, the gateway was re-erected near its original location as part of the Paternoster Square redevelopment. The memorial was designed by Sir Horace Jones, with sculpture work by Sir E Boehm. It is made of granite and bronze, featuring a stone pedestal with niches that contain statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Edward, who later became Edward VII. The memorial is topped with a silvered dragon rampant created by C B Birch.
