Quintin and Alice Hogg Memorial
A memorial for Alice and Quintin Hogg stands on Portland Place in central London, opposite BBC Broadcasting House. The bronze memorial depicts Quintin Hogg with two children, and stands on a plinth of Portland stone. It was designed by George Frampton and erected in 1906. The memorial also honours Hogg's wife, Alice, and those members of the Regent Street Polytechnic (now the University of Westminster) killed in World War I and World War II.[1]
The memorial has been Grade II listed since February 1970.[2]
