The
Queens Walk Sundial
The Queens Walk sundial was fixed in position on Wednesday 21 January 2015.
The Jubilee Walkway was started in 1977 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen. The walkway includes this section of Queens Walk running on the south bank between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Click here for information and maps for the whole Walkway. The William Curtis Ecological Park was the first urban ecological park in the UK. It was developed from a disused lorry park in 1978, and returned to the site's owners in 1983. The site is now occupied by City Hall and the Potters Field Park. The sundial also commemorates Max Nicholson, who initiated both of these projects.
The stonework cladding to the existing mini-plinth and giving it a circular top, was fixed in mid-October 2014.
