John Henry Foley's statue of Faraday holding his induction ring, the device with which he found in 1831 that a moving magnet makes electricity, stands in marble in the Royal Institution's hall; this bronze copy was set outside the IET's headquarters on Savoy Place in 1989, so that the engineers who work in what Faraday discovered pass him on the way in. The building behind was the first home of the Institution of Electrical Engineers; the Embankment gardens are below.
