Mornington, a name that resonates with history and elegance. It brings to mind images of the renowned jockey, Herbert Mornington Cannon, who dominated the racing world in the 1890s. Clad in vibrant racing silks, he was a true sporting portrait of skill and determination. But Mornington is not just about its famous jockey, and is also home to Mornington Crescent, a charming neighborhood nestled in Camden, Northwest London. Here stands a statue of the late Marquis Wellesley, crafted by an unknown artist back in 1845. This magnificent sculpture pays homage to a man whose legacy still echoes through time. Another hidden gem within Mornington's embrace is Tippo Saibs peacock from 1844. Its creator remains unknown but its beauty captivates all who lay eyes upon it. A symbol of grace and majesty frozen in stone. Venturing further into this enchanting area leads us to AL St Albans - an address that exudes sophistication and class. The grandeur continues with Richard James Lane's masterpiece: The Marquis of Wellesley from 1833; a testament to artistic brilliance. Mornington surprises us yet again as we encounter Victoria Southern Right Whale gracefully swimming through our imagination. This magnificent creature reminds us of nature's wonders and the importance of conservation efforts. Art takes center stage once more as we discover Brian O'Connor's masterpieces - Mornington Lockett at Watermill Dorking both in May 2000 and January 2000 respectively; each stroke telling stories untold before. The Bulls Head pub welcomes M Armstrong, s Melling, s Mayne, and M Lockett for an unforgettable evening filled with music and laughter in Barnes, London during 2014 while Braithwaite Hall witnessed Mark Nightingale and Mark Armstrong captivating their audience with soulful melodies back in Croydon during 2008.
