## Bayswater

Main article: Bayswater

| Eagle  | Orme Square

51°30′37″N 0°11′23″W﻿ / ﻿51.5103°N 0.1897°W﻿ / 51.5103; -0.1897﻿ (Eagle) | 1814 | ? | ?  | Sculpture on pillar  | —  | The square is named after Edward Orme, a Bond Street print seller, who also sold two ship-loads of building gravel to Tsar Alexander I of Russia, when he visited London in 1814, and Orme built the square in the same year. The eagle dates from then. Its meaning is a mystery; it is not the eagle from the Orme family crest, and has only one head, so is definitely not the Russian imperial eagle.[2]
