    Lady Godiva who made a stand for moderate rules. And excellently portrayed on the silver screen by Maureen O'Hara.

    I never knew the peeping Tom story so thanks to @jessiesydenham for educating me. I’ll have to return for the Peeping Toms. But I’ve attached my photos of Godiva. I’m not sure wether this is a true or fictional story but good on Godiva anyway! 😂

    Went here after hearing a colleague tell me the story of peeping Tom & had to find the statue of Godiva & him. Godiva was very easy to find, peeping Tom was a little further down. Apparently there are more peeping toms dotted around, so I’ll be going back to find the rest

    The square is very vibrant and full of high street shops, cafés and restaurants. There was a very nice saxophone playing busker adding to the ambiance. The number of homeless peopl and others who were clearly affected By substance abuse really saddened me.

    Beautiful statue of Lady Godiva. Peeping Tom, in the clock tower, was not working when I visited.

    The iconic Lady Godiva statue in the city centre with an interesting story. Good location with shops surrounding her and nearby restaurants to eat and drink.
