The Cenotaph, Whitehall The Cenotaph, Whitehall The Cenotaph is a war memorial on Whitehall in London, England.

Designed by Edwin Lutyens, the permanent structure was built from Portland stone between 1919 and 1920 by Holland, Hannen & Cubitts, replacing Lutyens' earlier wood-and-plaster cenotaph in the same location.
