London’s Saddest, Oldest and Most Mysterious Statue?

Could this be one of London’s saddest, oldest and most mysterious statues? In a quiet northern corner of the Dutch or Formal Garden in London’s Holland Park can be found the statue known as ‘The Melancholy Man’.
The limestone figure is thought to have been created in the 16th century but by whom and from where it originally came remain a mystery.

Part of the brilliance of this channel is that you can have a front row seat at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras one week and the next be in a Holland Park cemetery in London observing the intriguing figure of the mysterious Melancholy Man. From the provocative and brassy to the evocative and classy.
