Polish War Memorial

Reviewed By cidermanSlough - Uxbridge, United Kingdom

Having driven by the memorial I decided to park and visit. Parking is free but limited and the memorial extends into some well kept gardens at the rear. Impressive and clean, this is a fitting tribute to those gallant Polish airmen who made the ultimate sacrifce. Recommended history with a number of narrative boards scattere around.

Reviewed By Eric960 - Twickenham, United Kingdom

Found outside the Guildhall, the stone has the names of the seven Anglo-Saxon kings carved out around the base supporting the stone. Worth seeing.

The Russian Cannon

Reviewed By K7746MYjimj

Welling use to be a home for some munitions workers who worked at the Royal Arsenal; Crimean War cannon represents this link. A excellent meeting point.

Physical Energy Statue

Reviewed By Travelling_SE_Asia - St. Albans, United Kingdom

I’m not the only one who found this statue to be strange. I could hear others who were viewing it talking about how it seems misplaced in Hyde Park. Not sure what it’s supposed to be and what it represents but it’s a beautifully crafted statue even if it is out of place.
