Statue of Margaret Thatcher (Palace of Westminster)

The bronze statue of Margaret Thatcher stands in the Members Lobby, a high-traffic antechamber that serves as a gateway to the House of Commons. Created by the sculptor Antony Dufort, the figure is cast in a pose that captures her as if she were mid-debate, with her right arm outstretched and a set of papers held firmly in her left hand. It is intentionally designed to reflect her final years in office, between nineteen eighty-seven and nineteen ninety. Standing over seven feet tall, the statue is positioned directly opposite a bronze of Winston Churchill, mirroring the political weight and historical prominence often associated with both leaders within the British parliamentary tradition.
