Standing at the south end of Trafalgar Square, the Equestrian Statue of King Charles I marks the spot considered the official center of London. Commissioned by Charles I in 1630, the bronze monument was carved by the French sculptor Hubert Le Sueur and survived the tumult of the English Civil War thanks to a local metalsmith who preserved it instead of melting it down. It features the monarch on horseback dressed in regal attire, reflecting the grandeur of the Stuart era. Visitors can appreciate its significance as London’s oldest equestrian statue and a symbol of enduring monarchy. Easily accessible by foot from nearby Charing Cross Station.
