The memorial has been built to be modern, yet classical, in Portland stone. At its heart are the bronze sculptures of a Bomber Command aircrew. Within the memorial, the space is open to the sky with an opening designed to allow light to fall directly onto sculptures of the aircrew. « less

I just wonder why a statue should be the second most attraction in London ? It is nice designed statue but nothing special with it.

This is a fantastic memorial, long overdue and well worth a visit. Staying at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in Kensington, we walked through Hyde Park to the Memorial and were lucky enough to see the Household Cavalry training in full dress.

Wonderful statue of a World War II bomber crew. Outstanding work and accuracy created this touching tribute. Located in Green Park and easy to reach via underground. The top of the memorial is open in order see the sky. Worth a visit.

I did not know of this memorial when my wife and I were walking from Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace and we were literally blow away by this beautiful monument. Being the son of a RCAF officer, who spent 3 years in England during the war in Bomber Command at Linton, this memorial touched me deeply. The characters portrayed are... More

RAF Bomber Command lost over 55,000 in WWII. This memorial is dedicated to them. Most of these flight crews were teenagers. Impressive sculpture depicts a flight crew. Take time to read the small tributes left by family members.

My father was in Bomber Command in WWII and was shot down over Germany in December 1944. Both of his pilots were KIA. We came as a group from Australia to pay our respects to his many comrades who did not make it home. This visit was very special to us. After this outing we spent Anzac Day at his... More

That there should be a memorial to the brave men of bomber command is unquestioned. That this small group of statues is listed as the 2nd best attraction in London, is, well, daft. Worth a visit (which will last less than 5 minutes) if you are in the area. If you want to learn about the history of the Royal... More
