The statue of John Stuart Mill is a Grade II listed statue dedicated to the political philosopher John Stuart Mill on the Victoria Embankment in London.[1] It sits in the Temple Gardens.
The statue was designed and sculpted by Thomas Woolner, a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, between 1876 and 1879.[2] The statue consists of a bronze representation of Mill, said to resemble him during his time as an MP, upon a Portland stone pedestal.[3] It was unveiled by Mill's student Henry Fawcett who himself has a memorial on the Victoria Embankment.[4]
