In the courtyard of St Bart's Hospital. The bunting was up for the 900th anniversary of the founding of the hospital in 1123.

This statue, the work of Francis Bird, is the only one of Henry VIII in London. The inscription reads, "St Bartholomew’s Hospital, founded by Rahere anno 1102, refounded by K. Henry VIII 1546. This front was rebuilt anno 1702 in the first year of Queen Anne; Sir Wm. Prichard K[nigh]t and Alder[man], President; John Nicholl Esq., Treasurer." The inscription has the founding date of the hospital wrong -- it was actually 1123.
