In the shadow of St Paul’s Cathedral stands a dramatic monument; depicting in bronze three firefighters in action at the height of the Blitz of WWII, when London was bombed by the Luftwaffe on 57 consecutive nights. Originally the names of all firefighters across the UK who died in WWII were inscribed upon it but, after the monument was moved to its current location, the names of all those killed in peacetime were added. Nowadays it is illuminated at nighttime in red, representing the towering flames these brave guys were fighting. A fitting tribute to those who should be remembered.

A very detailed and sombre statue holding all the names of the many firefighters that died during the war. Definitely a place to just stop and reflect on what happened in the past in a hope it never repeats in the future.
