The statue of Sir Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde is a Grade II listed statue on Waterloo Place in London.[1] It was designed by Carlo Marochetti and erected in 1867.
Colin Campbell was a British Army Officer who served during the Peninsular War, Crimean War and in India. His most significant act was lifting the Siege of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny.[2]
Campbell stands in bronze on a granite plinth, wearing the uniform he would have been during the mutiny. Below is a depiction of Britannia sitting upon a Lion holding an olive branch.
The original site of the statue was a different location on Horse Guards Parade but was moved following resistance, with the Duke of Wellington mediating the situation.[3]
