Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
The pump of death, at the point where the City ends and the East End begins.
MemorialsFree
A well stood here from the Middle Ages and the stone pump is from 1876, with a brass wolf's head for a spout, said to mark the last wolf shot in the City. In that year several hundred people died after drinking from it: the water came from underground streams that ran through the new cemeteries to the north, and the Board of Works switched the supply to the New River Company's mains. The phrase east of Aldgate Pump has meant the East End ever since, and the pump still stands on its island with the City behind it and Whitechapel in front.
