London’s named, female sculptures on Public display in London

A research project centered around finding all the ‘named, female sculptures on public display in London’.

Information is based on personal research & photos are my own. Using ‘What3words’ I have personally located each sculpture for easy finding.
Some of my research was sought from the Book ‘London’s Monuments: From Boudicca and Byron to Guy the Gorilla’ by Andrew Kershman from The Shoe Lane Library & I received support from local London tour guides.
