Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm

The Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm is an initiative established by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan on 9 June 2020 to review and access public tributes including statues and other landmarks. The commission was formed in response to the George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom which saw protesters topple a Statue of Edward Colston in Bristol, whilst also defacing a number of statues across the country. The commission will focus on increasing diversity in London's street names, monuments, public sculptures and artworks, murals and place names.
