Not every statue in London. The ones worth crossing the road for: Roman wall, medieval ruins, and the monuments that earn a detour.
A Doric column with six sundials at the meeting of seven streets. The seventh dial is the column.

Thomas Neale laid out seven streets radiating from a circus in the 1690s, to get more rentable frontage out of the land than a grid would, and set a sundial pillar at the centre by Edward Pierce. It was pulled down in 1773, on a rumour that treasure was buried under it, and ended up on a green in Weybridge, where it still is. This one is a faithful replacement of 1989, unveiled by the Queen of the Netherlands, cut from Portland stone with the dials set to the local time of each street. The steps round it are the meeting place of the neighbourhood.
