Statue of Lord Byron

A statue of Lord Byron is situated at Hyde Park Corner in London. It was made of bronze to the design of Richard Claude Belt and sits upon a marble plinth. The marble used to make the plinth was given as a gift by the people of Greece for Byron's participation in the Greek War of Independence. The m

onument is Grade II listed, and commemorates the romantic poet and writer Lord Byron. He sits in a meditative pose alongside his Landseer dog Boatswain. The statue is said to poorly resemble Byron and is sometimes regarded as the "worst statue in London".
