During the Mozart family grand tour, Mozart lived for 15 months in London aged eight. Originally, the Mozart family had been staying in Leicester Square but decided to move out to the, at the time, more rural setting of Ebury Street. London was the last stop of the tour.[2]
The statue depicts Mozart at a young age holding a violin and standing on some books. Its design is by Philip Jackson and was unveiled in 1994 by Princess Margaret.[3]
