This statue is a tribute to Michael Faraday, the great British physicist who contributed to the study of physics especially in the fields electromagnetism. The statue itself is of a middle-aged man standing as if in the middle of a lecture. As one of my favourite scientists, it's definitely worth going out of the way to see. Otherwise, it's close to Victoria Embankment Gardens and only a small detour if you're in the area.

Michael Faraday - Savoy Place. In 1831, Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, the principle behind the electric transformer and generator. A crucial discovery allowing electricity to be transformed from a curiosity into a powerful new technology. Now you might understand just how important this man who was a great scientist was. Being an Engineer I have a huge amount of respect for Michael Faraday and enjoy walking past this historic landmark.

Fabulous statue of Michael Faraday, the great British physicist

I enjoyed the view of this statue. Once again, it is one of those landmarks that one can easily miss if one is not paying attention to their surroundings. Beautiful!

I will not rest until this statue is the same size as the Statue of Liberty.

Love faraday! Hidden statue at the back door of savoy hotel and next to the bridge.

One of the best Faraday statues I have ever seen 5/5

A great statue of a magnificent man.

I did not know Michael is Faraday’s first name until I am here.
