“On the corner of Oakley Street, opposite the Albert Bridge, is David Wynne's striking Boy with a Dolphin. Wynne used his youngest son, Ronald, as a model, and it was erected here in 1975. Ronald died in 1999, aged thirty-five, and the sculpture is now his memorial.” (Peter Matthews, London’s Statues and Monuments)
