Monument In Background Of News Interviews Outside

[jessiedog]

Quite often, when interviewing outside there is a monument in the background. Does anyone know where / what it is?

Many thanks

When there's a political story and they show parliament in the background you often see this sculpture. It's not a monument, as far as I know.

Sorry everyone, I went out.

I saw it on the BBC news this lunch time, I think it is in London, it is in a park (or at least in an expanse of grass) and it often appears. It is not a statue, it appears to be like a small, pointed, bandstand, taller than it is wide, but difficult to say its' dimensions as it is in the distance. It reminds me little of the Albert memorial.

It's the Buxton Memorial fountain. Though who Buxton was in anyones guess
