From the Wikipedia article
Still Water is a large public sculpture in bronze of a horse's head by Nic Fiddian-Green, dating to 2011. It is located at Achilles Way, near Hyde Park Corner in central London, and was initially installed at Marble Arch. The work remains owned by the artist, and is on loan to Westminster City Council. The 33 feet (10 m) piece was commissioned to replace an earlier and similar, but slightly smaller, work, Horse at Water XV, which was temporarily installed on the site in 2001. That earlier work was moved to Daylesford, Gloucestershire, the home of Sir Anthony and Lady Carole Bamford, who had commissioned it. In 2012, Fiddian-Green cleaned the sculpture himself, using a cherry picker. In May 2021 the work was moved to its current location on Achilles Way.
