Discover London : Queen Anne Statue

The stone statue of Queen Anne which now stands against the return flank wall of No. 15 Queen Anne's Gate, seems to have stood originally in the middle of the east side of Queen Square. Its origin is obscure, but from the facts that the owners of the different houses in the square had a joint interest in the statue, and that it was already in position in 1708, it may fairly be assumed that it was included in the original lay-out of the square. The name of the sculptor is not known.
The figure represents the Queen standing, with the left foot slightly advanced and the head inclined to one side. The Queen is represented as wearing the Collar and George of the Order of the Garter, with the Star attached to the left breast, and carrying the Orb and Sceptre. (British History Online).
