This beautiful pagoda, a gift from the Japanese-Buddhist nuns and monks of the Nipponzan Myohoji Order to the city of London, was erected in 1985 in Battersea Park. The Peace Pagoda, as the name suggests, is indeed a symbol of harmony and tolerance of all world religions; it also commemorates the victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. With a gilded Buddha on each side of the structure, it offers scenic views of the Thames River that flows nearby. The peaceful atmosphere and silence that surround the monument are reason enough to visit it.
