This is one of the monuments that you can see at Victoria Tower Gardens. It is the work of Samuel Sanders Teulon (1865-66) and commemorates the abolition of the slave trade in Britain in the 1830s and to a lesser degree coincided with the abolishment of slavery in the United States in 1866. What you see is a octagonal shaped arch spire with elaborate Gothic Revival details, a style that was something of a trend during the Victorian Age. It is decadent and nice to view while passing through Victoria Tower Gardens
