The statue of Clement Attlee on the Mile End campus of Queen Mary University of London is a bronze sculpture of the British Prime Minister, created by Frank Forster in 1988.

It was re-erected on a site at the Mile End Road campus, next to the People's Palace where Attlee had attended the vote counting in the 1945 general election and learnt of the victory which brought in his peace-time government.

[1] The son of a prosperous solicitor, Attlee practised as a barrister while undertaking voluntary work in the deprived East End of London.

Profoundly affected by the poverty he observed in the East End, he began a political career as Mayor of Stepney in 1919, and was elected as Member of Parliament for Limehouse in 1922.

[3] In the 1980s the Greater London Council (GLC), led by Ken Livingstone, established a public competition to design and create a statue to commemorate Attlee, who had died in 1967.

On this occasion, the unveiling was conducted by Peter Mandelson, grandson of Herbert Morrison, Attlee's Deputy Prime Minister and his long-time political rival.

[11] Bridget Cherry and Charles O'Brien, in the 2005 revised version London 5: East of the Pevsner Buildings of England series, describe it as "touchingly prosaic".
