Site: Battersea Park bandstand (1 memorial)

SW11, Battersea Park

It's always worth checking the central point in the floor of a bandstand. This plaque is not too interesting but we found Lord William Russell's beheading in the Lincoln's Inn bandstand. The Regent's Park bandstand carries its sad memorial on the side.
