Churchill and Roosevelt statue
Called 'Allies', this statue by Lawrence Holofcener was unveiled in 1995 by the Bond Street Association to mark 50 years of peace. After their stand against Nazism in World War II, Winston S Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt helped found the United Nations. Churchill’s mother was American and he and FDR were distant cousins. It stands (or, rather, sits) between New Bond Street and Old Bond Street, London.
