Statue of Queen Boudicca (London)

United Kingdom / England / London
Boadicea and Her Daughters is a bronze sculptural group in London featuring Boudica, queen of the Celtic Iceni tribe who led an uprising in Roman Britain. It is located to the north side of the western end of Westminster Bridge, near Portcullis House and Westminster Pier, facing Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster across the road. It is considered the magnum opus of its sculptor, the English artist and engineer Thomas Thornycroft. Thornycroft worked on it from 1856 until shortly before his death in 1885, sometimes assisted by his son William Hamo Thornycroft, but it was not erected in its current position until 1902.
