"Went on a Weds in December and had a fantastic afternoon. Blissfully free of crowds, amazing views out over the city and (despite being sceptical) the slide was a lot of fun too. Highly recommended."
Russell Barnes - 8.2
"These stern soldiers in their bearskins commemorate the role of the Brigade of Guards in the Crimean War, 1854-56. It’s one of the first memorials to recognise ordinary soldiers, not just officers."
HISTORY UK - 9.0
"Amazing art! This memorial goes some way to explaining how Victoria felt about Albert – it's so different to what you would normally find in London. Mesmerising."
