This 19th century stone sculpture sits rather incongruously in the recently redeveloped Regents Place off Euston Road. It depicts Nelson's triumph at the battle of Cape St Vincent in 1797, and was originally going to be installed as part of the decoration of the Marble Arch (from an unofficial source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ell-r-brown/4081021227/ ).
