The decision to take it down came after the toppling of a statue of the slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol by anti-racist protesters on Sunday.
London's mayor announced on Tuesday that more statues of imperialist figures could be removed from Britain’s streets, as the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis continued to spark protests - and drive change - around the world.
