Not sure people living in London all feel the same aboot this. Try living in a city with some cultral background and heav history behind... You can't swing a dead dog without hitting a memorial of some kind... So either shut down those cities and turn them into frozen museums... Or put on your big girls panties and let life goes on...

You say that you saw the video. What part of that is "driving by?" It is deliberate laying rubber. Not really appropriate anywhere, except a racetrack.
In answer, the memorial is in the middle of the street because the impact of the war was such that a reminder of the impact in your day-to-day life was considered to be appropriate. It wasn't to be tucked away in a corner. On that same street is Admiralty Arch which is a whole building the street goes through. But I wouldn't expect an American to understand.

The accident occurred in the town of St Gallen in north-east Switzerland during a shoot for The Grand Tour. The 47-year-old had to be pulled from the wreckage of a Rimac supercar worth £2m that later burst into flames.
An Amazon spokeswoman said that Hammond had been “involved in a serious crash” and had a fracture to his knee. But she said Hammond “very fortunately suffered no serious injury”.
“Richard was conscious and talking, and climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames,” she said.
The latest incident comes less than three months after Hammond was injured falling off a motorbike while filming in a remote part of Mozambique.
