Children's Society - Edward Rudolf

Inscription

In thankful memory of Edward de Montjoie Rudolf, 1852 - 1933.

Site: Children's Society - Edward Rudolf (1 memorial)

WC1, Margery Street, Edward Rudolf House

One of the more unusual positions for a memorial. It's flat on the ground behind the low wall at the entrance to this building. Perhaps some visitors notice it as they enter but we expect most don't.

October 2024: The Islington Tribune reported that this building is set to be demolished and replaced with a taller office block.

The Children's Society moved out in 2019 and it has been vacant ever since.
