English: The Coade Lion Two Lions, cast in Coade Stone from an original by William Woodington once adorned the Lion Brewery on the South Bank (London). One surmounted the building and a smaller one was situated above the entrance gate. After surviving the vicinity's destruction during the Second World War, the brewery was demolished in 1950 when the South Bank site was cleared for the 1951 Festival of Britain. Luckily, the two lions were saved, the large one at the request of George VI.
Today, the large lion is on permanent loan to the All-England Rugby Football Club at Twickenham, where it stands near the Rowland Hill Memorial Gate (Gate 3). After being located outside Waterloo station form 1951 to 1966, the small lion is now situated at the southern approach to Westminster Bridge.
