The Statue of Yuri Gagarin in Greenwich London is a zinc statue depicting the cosmonaut wearing a spacesuit and standing on top of a globe. The figure was originally unveiled on 14 July 2011 at a temporary location in the Mall close to Admiralty Arch and facing the statue of Captain James Cook. It was later moved to the Royal Observatory Greenwich at a site overlooking the Prime Meridian line and was unveiled at the new location on 7 March 2013.
