English: 8 Canada Square has a pair of bronze lions guarding the main entrance. These are copies of a pair by sculptor William Wheatley Wagstaff, and nicknamed "Stephen" and "Stitt" which have stood outside the Bank's Headquarters at 1 Queen's Road Central in Hong Kong since 1935. The Hong Kong lions are named after yet another pair of lions that guarded the Bank's Shanghai headquarters on The Bund after it opened in 1923.
The lions were cast within sight of the development by the Bronze Age Sculpture Casting Foundry in Limehouse.[
