The Statue
In 2004 the Finchley
Society joined forces with a group of his friends and family to raise funds for
the creation of a bronze statue in Finchley. The aim is to perpetuate Spike's
memory in a part of London where he was much loved.
The life-size statue by John
Somerville will show Spike sitting on a park bench, turning as if to speak to an
imaginary person sharing the bench with him. The bench will be bronze and will depict various aspects of Spike's life.

Planning Permission from the London Borough of Barnet)
