Charles Darwin bust

Site: Charles Darwin bust (1 memorial)

WC1, Gower Street, UCL Biological Sciences Building

The bust is in a case on the right hand side of the entrance.

Professor Joe Cain has researched the history of this site, which includes Darwin's house, number 12 Upper Gower Street, and the house(s) where the Coopers lived, 90-94 Gower Street.

No plaque but Lady Diana Cooper moved to number 90 Gower Street with her husband, Duff Cooper in 1920, and then expanded into the first floors of numbers 92 and 94. They lived here until 1937, years that Diana considered some of her happiest. See her page for more details.

Professor Cain's aerial photo shows the site after war-time bombing.
