The National Windrush Monument is a bronze sculpture in Waterloo Station, London. It was created by Basil Watson. It was unveiled in June 2022 by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge.[1] The monument memorialises the British West Indian immigrants who came to the United Kingdom on board HMT Empire Windrush in 1948, who subsequently became known as the Windrush generation.[2][3] The inscription accompanying the monument lists the members of the Windrush Committee who commissioned the sculpture and a poem "You Called..and we came" written by Professor Laura Serrant OBE.
