Erection date: 1902
{On the front of the plinth:}
Boadicea, Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni who died AD 61 after leading her people against the Roman invader.
{On the right, river side:}
Regions Caesar never knew, thy posterity shall sway. {A quote from Thomas Cowper's 1782 poem "Boadicea, an ode".}
{On the left, road side:}
This statue by Thomas Thornycroft was presented to London by his son Sir John Isaac Thornycroft CE and placed here by the London County Council, AD 1902.
The horses look totally out of control to us; no wonder the two daughters look so worried.
