Albert Memorial 
Description
Located on the Southern edge of Hyde Park this massive memorial to the late husband of Queen Victoria was built with the money that was supposed to pay for the Royal Albert Hall. At the time of visiting it was undergoing another of the now relatively regular restorations to keep the gold leaf shiny and bright (during the middle part of the 20th century no work was carried out on the monument for decades and it had decayed quite considerably, to the point of becoming at risk before it was initially restored in the 1990s)
