Mahatma Gandhi - Tavistock Square

Famous to the few: IN THE GARDENS of London's Tavistock square sits a brooding bronze of Mahatama Ghandi, India's spiritual leader that was, meditating in his lot.

Sculpted in the familiar cross-legged position for posterity, his emaciated, half naked form is the creation of Fredda Brilliant and cost £10,000 to put there. (Camden council came up with £1,000 after the Mahatma Ghandi Memorial committee, under the chairmanship of Lord Sorensen who approached them, had collected £9,000 towards the project).
