Secret Westminster

I went for a lunchtime wander today and happened upon a beautiful
piece of hidden architecture.

The Buxton Memorial is an impressive thing, thoroughly dwarfed by the
neighbourinh Houses of Parliament.

Sited in Victoria Tower Gardens on Millbank, this is actually a
drinking fountain, erected as a monument to the 1833 Slavery Abolition
Act.

Slightly overblown, but impressive all the same.
