Maggi Hambling's Wilde rising out of a granite coffin behind St Martin-in-the-Fields, inviting you to sit and talk.
Statues & memorialsFree
Unveiled in 1998 on the anniversary of his death, Wilde's head and hand, cigarette in the fingers, rise from a green granite sarcophagus that doubles as a bench, so that the passer-by sits at the level of his face; the cigarette has been broken off and replaced many times. Along the side is cut his line from Lady Windermere's Fan: 'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars'. It stands in Adelaide Street, between the church and the Strand.
