This is the most impressive artwork on the whole Embankment area. Unlike the other war memorials that are placed high on a platform, this monument was designed purposely on a ground level so people could see it eye to eye, get close, be part of the action and feel the various battle scenes. Their intention and hardwork has definitely paid off because they had feedback even from blind visitors who really enjoyed it.

One thing about London is that there are statues and artworks everywhere of British heroes, the Battle of Britain sculpture is a memorial to the bravest of them all. I always pause when passing by, I am sure I am not alone.

The monument was the brainchild of Bill Bond, MBE, the founder of the Battle of Britain Historical Society. He raised funds and notably the British Government did not donate which caused public anger. The sculptor was Paul Day who has done a marvellous job with much detail On 18 September 2005, the 65th anniversary of the Battle, the sculpture was unveiled on the Victoria Embankment, a permanent memorial to 'The Few'. The unveiling ceremony took place in the presence of HRH Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. A great piece of sculpture commemorating some extremely brave RAF personnel.

This monument is located along Victoria Embankment along with a great man statues, monuments and memorials to heroes and figures of United Kingdom. The Battle of Britain Monument is a three dimensional sculpture. It doesn't just celebrate the famed few who defend the skies from Axis attacks, but also those who lived through the attacks too. The centrepiece of the monument is an airman running to battle, not to be missed. At the back and sides lists the names of the airmen who died in defence of the country.

The Battle of Britain Monument in London is a superb monument to The Few - commemorating those people who took part in this vital battle of the Second World War. The Monument is outdoor, free and open 24 hours per day. It is usually lit up at night. See here for its location next to the Thames. This website provides information about the Battle of Britain, the airmen, who took part, the history and description of the Monument and related information.

Amazing monument commemorating the men who died in the Battle of Britain. And those who survived. Soldiers, their faces, their figures expressing tenacity and sacrifice were very suggestively presented. Winston Churchill's words 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much been owed by so many to so few', reinforce the message of thanks for the heroism of the fighting men. It is impossible to pass by the monument indifferently.

We thought this very well done. Monument to Battle of Britain aircrew from home and abroad. The names of the dead, and their squadron badges appear as well as large sculptures of air and land action. Well worth 20 minutes if you're in the area.

A beautiful monument to the lives lost during the Battle of Britain.

Monument to the RAF. This is a monument to commemorates the individuals who took part in the Battle of Britain during the Second World War. Made as a three-dimensional sculpture on the Victoria Embankment, overlooking the River Thames. It was unveiled on 18 September 2005, the 65th anniversary of the Battle, by Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. To go to this monument just walk from the Big Ben area about 200 meters along the Victoria Embankment and you will find this site. Unique and beautiful works, worth to be visited.

(Translated by Google) It is a three-dimensional and delicate structure that pops out. This monument makes you feel the hardship and morale of war. (Original) 飛び出すように立体的で繊細な造りの像です。戦争の苦難と強い士気を感じさせるモニュメントです。

It’s a very powerful memorial. Somber but one sees motion, almost perpetual motion, with the driving energy of the love of country. Still it’s a reminder how many have given the ultimate sacrifice as a price for freedom, it’s never free. We must fight for it! To the fallen, we salute you🫡 To those who are serving, we thank you👏👏👏

Never in the field of human conflict...

Delicately crafted and carefully considered. The tone is not one of celebration but of respectful memorial of RAF and civilians, men and women, both British and those from far beyond, who toiled and endured so much. Poignant and humbling.

Fantastic to see Dad's name up there for eternity. Thank you to my British family for urging me to see the memorial. It is moving!

Nice memorial commemorating the pirates who fought in WWII. Also it is a great spot to take pics in front of the London Eye. Definitely worth visiting if you are going to Westminister Pier

Great monument, lots of detail in the sculpture, and a long list of "The Few" who participated in the Battle of Britain. Worth visiting if you like military history

Wonderfull !! In a very special place ..

(Translated by Google) Beautiful moment! Facing the London eye! (Original) Bonito momento! Virado para a London eye!

(Translated by Google) I walked along the banks of the Thames on both sides and I was fascinated by the "treasures" encountered, but in particular I was attracted by a masterfully sculpted structure with three-dimensional appearance fixed with great mastery along the riverbank wall. The admirable work done with great accuracy gives him the opportunity to look at battle and bravery squads that honor the young heroes of the RAF royal force in the battle with the German army to defend the country! An impressive monument that will surely attract the attention of a passionate and eager tourist to know the great moments that have marked the history of the world! Nice, it's worth the attention! (Original) Am parcurs la pas malurile Tamisei pe ambele sensuri și am rămas fascinat de "comorile" întâlnite dar în mod special privirea mi-a fost atrasă de o structură sculptată magistral cu aspect tridimensional fixată cu multă măiestrie de-a lungul zidului malului fluviului . Admirabilă operă realizată cu o acurateța deosebită îi dă posibilitatea privirii să cuprindă cadre de luptă și de vitejie ce fac cinste tinerilor eroi din forța regală RAF în lupta cu armata germană pentru apărarea țării ! Un monument impresionat ce sigur va atrage atenția unui turist pasionat și avid de a cunoaște marile momente ce au marcat istoria lumii ! Frumos , merită atenție !

This is looking straight at the London Eye which is located on the South Bank, a very iconic modern part of London marking a celebration of the millennium as this was a vision of new years eve before the London fireworks 2022 / 2023 so beautiful ❤️❤️

It’s a very powerful sculpture on the Victoria Embankment next to the River Thames in honor of all those who took part in the Battle of Britain during the Second World War.

A very moving sculpture to visit. So well made. Took time to find it. Really worth a visit while in London.

Superb monument to the RAF and the Battle of Britain, lest we forget.

(Translated by Google) Best place for photo spots Rather than boarding the London Eye directly It was so much nicer to take a picture with the London Eye background across the river. Personally, it's better to shoot during the day than at night (Original) 포토 스팟으로 최고인 곳 런던아이 직접 탑승하는 것 보다 강 건너에서 런던아이 배경으로 사진 찍는 게 훨씬 예뻤다 개인적으로는 밤보다 낮에 찍는 게 더 예쁨

Excellent memorial. A piece of art, includes names, and history.

Beautifully done. A wonderful tribute to those who saved Britain and the free world in its most desperate hour.

This is an incredible memorial that I didn't even know was on the bank of the Thames at Whitehall. Moving accessible tactile patriotic inclusive stunning. Please see it for yourself and read the history of all those involved both in the Battle of Britain and the creation of this spectacular monument.

An impressive memorial to those who gave their lives during the Battle of Britian

Nice

A must visit, very close to Buckingham palace

Awesome

A beautiful and evocative monument set by the thames

A nicely designed monument. Definitely worth stopping at while walking along the Thames.

Lovely

Google maps have this wrong! This is a memorial to those who participated in the Battle of Britain. Almost 3,000 persons from 14 countries. The RAF monument is a little further up the Victoria embankment, so don't let them confuse you. This memorial actually used a structure that had been constructed to vent smoke out of the tunnels used by the Underground train system when they used steam engines! The statues were cast by the same company that made the famous lions in Trafalgar Square

Great Place to see and provides easy access to London Bridge and London Bridge Station.. Near by stations are Monument and Cannon Street. Very Lively place and fun to be there. If you are a walker, you can go to Liverpool Street, St Pauls from this place. Enjoy London.

This is a monument to those who fought in "The Battle of Britain" and those known as " The Few'names appear on the monument Sculpted by Paul Day and the driving force for this fitting tribute that of 'The Battle of Britain Historical Society" The monument pays tribute to all those who supported the pilots and also depicts' The Blitz" truly moving and inspiring

(Translated by Google) It is super nice to see this war monument, it is a walk along the river. (Original) Esta super bonito ver este monumento de la guerra, es un paseo junto al rio.

(Translated by Google) However, they should add something about Polish pilots like here (Original) Powinni jednak coś dodać o polskich lotnikach jak tutaj

(Translated by Google) Bas-relief commemorating British battles. On the back there are surnames and names of individual military units. Very detailed, very interesting. Great respect. (Original) Płaskorzeźba upamietniający bitwy brytyjskie. Na tylach znajdują sie nazwiska i nazwy poszczególnych jednostek wojskowych. Bardzo duzo szczegółow , bardzo ciekawie wykonane. Wielki szacunek.

Amazing place

Wonderful art

Beautiful monument by the Thames with great views of the London Eye

(Translated by Google) Impressive monument (Original) 印象深刻的紀念碑

(Translated by Google) Wonderful memorial at full height, celebrating the Battle of England during the 2nd GM, very demanding for the forces employed and for the city of London itself. Aviation played a significant role in this battle. The core of the monument is made up of a series of scenes, not only of the Battle of England itself, but also of themes related to both military (not only aerial but also land) and ordinary life in that historical juncture. It is one of the few sites that focuses not only on military subjects, we can find depicted observers, women employed in the production of ammunition, etc ... The bronze panels worked with bas-reliefs develop horizontally on a light stone base. The monument consists of two sides, with different representations. On one of the two sides, under the bronze representation there is a very significant engraving, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." (W.Churchill) (Original) Splendido memoriale ad altezza persona, celebrativo la Battaglia di Inghilterra durante la 2^ GM, molto impegnativa per le forze impiegate e per la stessa città di Londra. L'aviazione ebbe un peso notevole in questa battaglia. Il nucleo del monumento è costituito da una serie di scene, non solo della stessa Battaglia d'Inghilterra, ma anche di tematiche connesse alla vita sia militare (non solo aerea ma anche di terra) sia ordinaria in quel frangente storico. È uno dei pochi siti che si focalizza non solo sui soggetti militari, vi possiamo trovare raffigurati gli osservatori, le donne impiegate nella produzione di munizioni, ecc... I pannelli di bronzo lavorati con bassorilievi si sviluppano orizzontalmente su una base di pietra chiara. Il monumento si compone di due lati, con raffigurazioni differenti. Su uno dei due lati, sotto la rappresentazione bronzea vi è una incisione molto significativa, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." (W.Churchill)

I invite you to visit London Eye, National History Museum.

(Translated by Google) Thank you for offering the vision of this monument to honor and remember the boys who fought for the truth is everyone's freedom. I would however like that, such monuments, did not exist in any part of the world because it would mean that no war took place and that no young fighter died. To meditate, wars are declared by elderly people but then fought by young people; I do not want to create a generational diatribe, I am no longer young, I only wish that anyone who reflected, I have never seen in my life a monument to the war dead that depicted old people. (Original) Grazie per offrire la visione di questo monumento per onorare e ricordare i ragazzi che combatterono per la verità è la libertà di tutti. Vorrei comunque che, monumenti del genere, non esistessero in nessuna parte del mondo perché significherebbe che nessuna guerra è avvenuta e che nessun giovane combattente è morto. Da meditare, le guerre sono dichiarate da persone anziane ma poi combattute da persone giovani; non voglio creare una diatriba generazionale, io non sono più giovane, vorrei solo che chiunque riflettesse, io non ho mai visto in vita mia un monumento ai caduti di guerra che raffigurasse gente anziana.

Don't miss this - only 5mins walk from Westminster or Embankment.

A beautiful monument

Brilliant monument to the RAF. It is situated besides the river and tourists can't help but stop and reflect on its meaning. If you are visiting London this is not to be missed.
