No,
not the statue - the store. Named for Arthur Lasenby
Liberty, this store was founded in 1875, and appropriately
enough occupies Tudor buildings on Regent Street.
The buildings are considered landmarks and stand out
in the London's architectural landscape. Liberty specialized
in selling goods imported from Asia. Everything from
textiles to objects d'art. Though the buildings look
like they're from another age, they were only built
in 1924. That was when all of the government ordered
all of the buildings on Regent Street to be torn down
and rebuilt. Liberty's Tudor shop is built of wood
from the HMS Impregnable and the HMS Hindustan.
