Ancient World in London with Heritage Key

Boudicca Spotted in London Photo Contest

London is home to a massive bronze statue of the legendary Queen Boudicca in her chariot, which was proudly erected in the Victorian era. Leading her chariot into battle, Boudicca – or Boudica, or Boadicea, as she’s sometimes known – looks capable of grabbing any victory for the city.

But rather than London's fierce defender, Boudicca was actually its enemy. This competition invites you to discover this controversial statue in London, and win points and prizes for sending us your photographs of the warrior queen.

The statue was made by the English artist Thomas Thornycroft from 1856 until 1885, and wasn’t erected in its current position until 1902. But where is it?

How to Play

* Spot the glorious statue of Boudicca in London
* Take a photo of it
* Upload your photo to our Ancient World In London Flickr Group, and tag it with 'Boudicca'
* Or simply take a photo of it with your camera and tweet it to @Heritagekey with #boudicca

Date and Time: March 9, 2010 till March 22, 2010, midnight

Points to be earned: 10 points per photo

Prize: An Ancient History Book of your choice from Thames & Hudson (here are some of our favourites)

Rules: We assume that you've read and agreed to our competition rules

I do enjoy a bit of creative thinking, so if you're out and about in London, then why not look for things relating to the Ancient World which aren't your usual run-of-the-mill places/pieces of heritage?

Have a look at our first Ancient World in London video for a spot of inspiration!
