Boudica Memorial
This bronze statue of Queen Boudica and her daughters riding into battle was unveiled in 1905 to immortalize their stand against the Roman occupation of their land in the first century AD. The Queen led a group of rebels against the Romans when her land was annexed after her husband died, roughly about 60 AD. Her kingdom had consisted of what is present-day Norfolk. They were a brutal group, destroying three cities, including early Londinium (London), and leaving behind as many as 80,000 victims. Legend holds that their last stand was made somewhere along the ancient route modernly known as Watling Street in the West Midlands, where they felt the brunt of Roman revenge and were defeated soundly.
Address: Westminster Bridge Rd London England SW1P
