A view from James Wolfe's statue in Greenwich Park with Inigo Jones's Queen's House (a part of the National Maritime Museum) in the foreground. The Old Royal Naval College is in the near distance and Canary Wharf is in the background &mdash; on the far side of the River Thames.

Wolf was born on the outskirts of modern London in Westerham, Kent. The house is now known as Quebec House, for his famous victory in the Battle of Quebec; and is owned by the National Trust.
