​​The Bomber Command memorial was designed by architect Liam O’Connor and was built using Portland stone. Within the memorial are the bronze sculptures of a Bomber Command aircrew. 

​The memorial is located on the south side of Piccadilly facing Hyde Park Corner. It was built to remember the 55,573 aircrew from Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other Allied nations who served within the Royal Air Force. It also remembers the civilians of all nations who were killed during bombing raids during the Second World War. 

​The roof of the memorial was created using aluminium from a Royal Canadian Air Force Handley Page Halifax of No.426 Squadron. The aircraft crashed in May 1944 in Belgium. 

​On both walls inside the inscription reads: 

​‘This memorial is dedicated to the 55,573 airmen from the United Kingdom British Commonwealth & Allied Nations who served in RAF Bomber Command & lost their lives over the course of the Second World War.’ 

​The opposite wall inscription reads: 

​‘The fighters are our salvation but the bombers alone provided the means of Victor y- Winston Churchill September 1940’ 

​The memorial was unveiled on 28 June 2012 by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.​
