The Byron Society is on a mission to rescue one of London’s neglected and forgotten gems, the national Byron Memorial Statue, erected in 1880.

Its original garden setting on the edge of Hyde Park gave the memorial prominence and public access. Changes made to the Park Lane traffic layout mean the statue is now marooned on a traffic island.

Unseen and forgotten, it has deteriorated so much that it is now at risk and urgently needs to be restored and moved so it is preserved for future generations.

More information on the statue and the background to the campaign can be found on the Byron Society website.
