A beautiful monument to Canadians who fought and died valiantly for king and country. It’s a simple but beautiful monument. It’s unfortunate some see nothing but something to climb on and act like fools. Show some respect.
As memorials go this one is quite simple. A triangular slope of granite with embossed brass maple leaves. Did not leave me in awe but worth a look if in Green Park on way to Buckingham Palace.
Beautiful memorial to the Canadians lost in WWll. The Memorial is located in an area of Green Park Close to Buckingham Palace. The area is tranquil and the is ascentuated by the soft sound of moving water. A nice touch is the prints of Maple Leaves in the memorial. A nice place to visit and contemplate.
This memorial to Canada's contributions and sacrifices of World War I and World War II is a three minute walk from the front of Buckingham Palace. It is simple but powerful. It was made in the 1990s. Take a few minutes to check it out.
Poignant and fitting memorial. Different to many others of WW2 veterans. Loved the flowing water cascading over the imprints of maple leaves.
A nice spot to sit at and read, or take photos and walk around green park.
If you visit Green Park, one of the interesting things you can see there is the Canada Memorial. It is near to the Canada Gate, just to the north of The Mall and the Buckingham Palace Gate.
The Canada monument is dedicated to the million + Canadians who served alongside British forces during the two World Wars of the 20th century. It was designed by Canadian artist, Pierre Granche, in 1994 and is basically a flat surface structure, split down the middle by a narrow walkway. Water slowly cascades downward and runs over bronze maple leaf engrained into the monument. The maple leaf is the national symbol of Canada.
We enjoy seeing this monument in Green Park. It is simple, appealing and a respectable tribute to the brave Canadians who contributed to the British war efforts. It is well worth finding for those interested in historical monuments. You can also find a group of similar memorials at the other side of Green Park near the SE Corner of Hyde Park.
