Charing Cross
The equestrian Statue of King Charles 1 hasn't moved but everything around it has. The pillory is on the site of the execution of the Regicides and is seen from a window of the 'Golden Cross' which was a coaching Inn and later a hotel, the site is now occupied by South Africa House. The 'Golden Cross is the scene of an unfortunate decapitation in the 'Pickwick Papers'.
