15 May 15 2022: We attended the moving International Conscientious Objectors' Day ceremony held at this stone each year.
Tavistock Square and its environs has a particularly high density of memorials. The rarefied academic air, or council policy, we don't know the cause, but there are more than 10 in the garden alone. Click to see this memorial on a map and see all the pins.
