BATTLE OF BRITAIN MEMORIAL

The Battle of Britain Memorial is a tourist attraction in London, dedicated to those who laid down their lives in the Battle of Britain during the Second World War. It is a panelled granite sculpture which sits on the Victoria Embankment, overlooking the Thames River.

The centerpiece is a life-sized sculpture depicting airmen scrambling for the aircraft during the battle. The battle scene extends for a total of 25 meters or 82 feet in length, with the outer border consisting of plaques with the names of 2,936 pilots and aircrew who took part in the battle.
