Yep, my age old hobby horse - Kilburn is the oldest part of camden, oldest part of Brent and one of the oldest parts of London...That it was built and established by the troops and engineers of the conquering Roman Emperor Claudius and that the Museum of London should get out of the City of London and come down to the boroughs and have a conversation about what London has been and is...
This is the bust of the Emperor Claudius - probably torn down the by pillaging Iceni Queen Boudicca as she sacked Londinium - but it's incredibly evocative - it would have had eyes - so less scary and haunted, but it's a great piece of artistic bronze...
Who's up for having a replica statue erected at the bottom of the Kilburn High Road and the bust becomin a shade more iconic in lcoal useage than it currently is?
