From the London "Open Doors Day", on which the public are annually allowed into buildings not normally open to them, or in some cases are allowed in to non-free attractions for free.

This is part of my favourite sculpture in London, a monument to Wellington and Waterloo, atop the arch which was intended to be the entrance to London, via Green Park. It's opposite Apsley House, Wellington's own pad... with the excellent address of "Number 1, London."

It reminds me somewhat of the amazing Soviet sculpture (in Ukraine) of Cossack riders — although that statue reaches across a road in terrifying fashion. (It's here.)
