    This statue of Abraham Lincoln sits in Parliament amongst other prominent British and Commonwealth political leaders. It shows a dignified Lincoln standing regal above us. A chair is behind him with one of the traditional symbols of the American state shown on the on the chair. The dignity of this statue stands in stark contrast to the nasty successor currently occupying the exalted position of the American Presidency.

    Prominent American president at the UK supreme court! Did not expect it can be like this. What's the link between those?

    Several statues of US Presidents in London. This is the best. Was to be unveiled in 1914, to mark the centenary of the end of the War of 1812, but, you know. Put off till a few years later. Note to macedonboy; Obama was not as bad a President as that-put partisan commentary elsewhere.

    16th president of the USA. This statue known as 'Standing Lincoln' was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

    Doesn’t really look like him. Looks more like Daniel Day Lewis

    Very cool to see a statue of an American President in London. Especially, right outside of these buildings. I had to google why it was there, but it was supposed to be a sysmbol of 100 years of peace after the war of 1812 (1914). It wasn’t erected until 1920.

  • 4/5 Simon D. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow! An impressive statue of perhaps the greatest US President in Parliament Square! This is the standing version, not like the weird "sitting "version in Washington DC in the famous monument. But have you ever seen such a famous person's statue, anywhere in the world, portraying him sitting down in a chair?

    (Translated by Google) 2019 London makes an impression of the 16th President of the United States of America in the company of Churchill, Gandhi and Mandela. I do not know why it is fenced with metal fences. Visiting London every now and then we meet a monument of famous and famous people or war heroes. (Original) 2019 Londyn robi wrażenie 16. Prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki w towarzystwie Churchilla, Gandhiego i Mandeli. nie wiem czemu ogrodzony metalowymi płotkami. Zwiedzając Londyn co chwilę spotykamy pomnik słynnych i sławnych ludzi lub bohaterów wojennych.

    (Translated by Google) The statue of the president of the United States is located in central London on Parliament Square near Parliament and Westminster Abbey. Beside the Tower of Big Ben towers, it is true that now it is under renovation and you can see only the scaffolding itself but it is a must-see for visiting in London. (Original) Pomnik prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych znajduje się w centrum Londynu na Parlament Square niedaleko Parlamentu i Westminster Abbey . Obok góruje wierza Big Ben , co prawda teraz jest w remoncie i widać tylko same rusztowania ale jest to obowiązkowa pozycja do zwiedzania będąc w Londynie .
