If you haven't been to the Royal Greenwich Observatory yet, there's a statue 
of Yuri Gagarin there, a gift from Роскосмос, the Russian Space Agency. It's a 
copy of a statue in the town where Gagarin trained as a steel foundry worker.

I was at the Observatory in the summer, before I knew, and I regret I didn't 
notice the statue! I saw it in its original location, though, near Trafalgar 
Square.
