Crafted from bronze, the Greek Runner Statue before you captures the spirit of ancient athleticism. Standing proudly in St. Peter’s Square, this statue is more than just a depiction of a runner. It’s a tribute to a renowned artist who once called Hammersmith home. The Greek Runner, sculpted by Sir William Blake Richmond, was originally created in 1879. However, it wasn’t until 1926, several years after Richmond’s death, that the statue found its permanent home here. Richmond’s family gifted the statue to Hammersmith Borough Council. As a testament to his contributions to the area, the council erected it in this very square. Look closely at the base of the statue. You’ll find an inscription detailing the statue’s origin and purpose, a permanent reminder of Sir William Blake Richmond’s legacy. The Greek Runner Statue serves as a beautiful blend of art and history, forever frozen in time for us to admire.
