In this video, we're looking Hoa Hakananai'a, an Easter Island statue that you can see for free right here in London!
In each episode of The London History Show, we'll be looking at a different statue, plaque, building or feature of London's landscape that you can find for yourself, and we'll tell its story. Watch the whole series here: [ Ссылка ]
