The Ministry of Defence building, Whitehall, is home to two great stone statues, 'Earth' and 'Water', as well as a number of memorials to various campaigns, armed forces and personnel.
'Earth' and 'Water' can be found above the northern entrance, on Horse Guards Avenue, and were designed by Sir Charles Wheeler. Each weighs 40 tonnes. If you are wondering where 'Air' and 'Fire' are... the money dried up during construction of the building, so they were never sculpted.
If you head into the Victoria Embankment Gardens, in the grounds of the Ministry of Defence, you will find a number of memorials dedicated to various campaigns, armed forces and personnel.
Each one is unique and tells its own story.
