After attending a one day business meeting in London I started to go down some of the side streets so I could catch a cab to take me to the airport, when I came across this fantastic statue of Franklin D. Rooselvelt and Winston Churchill having a conversation while sitting on a park bench in London. This statue is supposed to symbolize FDR representing the United States and Winston Churchill representing London in their efforts to join together their two countries and overcome the Germans during World War II. Two iconic legends from the 20th century. Bronze statues of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill sitting 'talking' together on a bench in Mayfair (where Old Bond Street meets New Bond Street). This statue is called 'Allies' and was a gift from the Bond Street Association (the shops and businesses of Bond Street) to the City of Westminster to commemorate 50 years of peace. Lawrence Holofcener, a sculptor with dual nationality created this landmark and it was unveiled on 2 May 1995 by Princess Margaret.
This is a fun photo opportunity as there's enough room to squeeze yourself between these iconic gentlemen and join in their conversation!
