on the embankment there is a lot of street furniture on the lamposts and benches but the biggest camel is a sculpture. it is a war memorial.
this is near cleopatra’s needle. this small statue is in embankment gardens not far from the statue of robert raikes and commemorates the work of the camel corps in world war i.
a b burton foundry
major cecil brown sculptor.
inscription reads:

the embankment gardens is a narrow strip of public park by the thames created in the late-​19th century with the construction of the embankment for those who don’t know.
