London Guildhall Photo, Gog, Magog statue

License this photo for your own use

At the west end of the Guildhall Great Hall is a gallery, erected in 1910. Atop the west gallery stand two huge carved statues of the legendary giants Gog and Magog, who were supposedly involved in founding the city of London. The richly painted statues are the work of David Evans, and they replace earlier, even larger statues which were destroyed when the Guildhall was hit by bombs during WWII.
