The story of the rise and fall of the British Empire told through the statues and Monuments in Westminster. Come along on a walking tour around Westminster - the beating heart of British politics, that was once the centre of a global empire. At its height, the phrase "the Empire on which the sun never sets" was used to describe the vastness of the British Empire. Today, symbols of decolonisation such as statues of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela occupy the same space as imperial heroes like Sir Winston Churchill. What does this tell us about post colonial Britain and the soft power of monuments? Even though Britain’s imperial power is relegated to history, the long process of colonisation and decolonisation defines the world we live in today. We will discover how stories and ideas from history connect to our present by giving a fresh perspective on the statues and monuments.
