Waterloo Place is a broad street very familiar to Londoners. In the northern half stands the Crimea Monument, honouring the dead of the 1854-56 campaign. The Athenaeum (no 107 Pall Mall), a club founded in 1824 as a meeting place for artists and men of letters, occupies a building dating from 1830. The façade giving onto Waterloo Place sports a statue of Athena (Minerva).
