Wow, nice. I've never been there, but that does look deceptively small until you notice the size of the people! (Or maybe there was a group of midgets visiting on that day )

Well, I would guess it's about 10m tall, which is a lot larger to all the similar things I've seen (hence why I thought it was smaller at first). |

I know! The sad thing is...it was nearly demolished in the 1960s, but fortunately, a campaign led by the poet Sir John Betjeman succeeded in saving it. |
