The National Police Memorial

Quiet respectful memorial with a a memorial book of constables taken in the line of duty on that date, pages turned daily. Was a little shame the memorial could do with some better upkeep and felt neglected.

Designed by Lord Foster and Per Arnold.The National Police memorial was unveiled in 2005 by HM The Queen.After the death of policewoman Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan Embassy Michael Winner the film director setup a fund to remember police officers fallen in duty.This successfully raised money via public donations and the rest was funded by Westminster Council.The memorial takes the form of a black granite clad tablet with glass chamber containing a book listing the names of those killed,This is a very iconic sculpture just outside the perimeter of St James Park and close to Admiralty Arch.Good to spend time there and remember police officers serving us doing their public duties so well and look after us on a daily 365/24/7 basis and we are very thankful to them.

An understated memorial to the British Police Officers who have lost their lives in the course of their duty. Well worth taking a moment to stop and think.

I found this here on Google maps when looking for places to see and found this so had to come see it.I'm guessing that the glass bit was meant to originally be a water feature but can't find anything showing it working if it is.There is a book naming those who and how they lost their lives.

Quiet, peaceful and s place to reflect and remember

Incredibly respectful! For everyday in the year you will find the list of police officers losing their lives in service. What a proud and respectful nation! Admiring this ability to build self onfidence through respect to everybody!

Memorial dedicated to British Police Officers who have lost their lives whilst on duty. The layers of thin glass stacked upon one another makes for an artistically striking piece.

Not a wow place as such but a great memorial nonetheless and one worth stopping to view if around the area.

I never knew that they had a police memorial until I walked past it.Respect to all policemen and the work they do.
