Whether they're as large as a building or fit in the palm of your hand, statues have long graced private and public spaces. Visit Drake Statue and tick a famous piece of artwork off your to-do list.
You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when staying in Barbican. Drake Statue is a great place to start here, but there are loads of other worthwhile places to experience. National Marine Aquarium, Royal William Yard, and Hoe Park are not far from the work of art and will top off your day nicely.
