Site: Charlie Chaplin - statue (1 memorial)
WC2, Leicester Square
December 2013: we came across this statue in a passageway. No plinth so looking forlorn and rather vulnerable amongst the bags of rubbish. It was beside the Prince Charles Cinema, very close to the Flora Robson foundation stone. We don't know if this relocation is temporary or permanent.
By March 2016 the statue had been damaged and taken away, for repair we hope. It really needs to be located somewhere more respectful and where it can be better looked after. We think a full size statue would be more appropriate, but presumably cost is the issue. April 2016: We're told Charlie is now back in Leicester Square.
