No issue with it being in London other than it ought to come North for a spell.

I just wonder how it's presented. Surely they wouldn't have deconstructed such a treasure, in which case it will be one huge anticlimax.
 
Big exhibition on Angle Saxon art at the BL, but yes I take the 'it's always London' point.

I think a facsimile was given to Jarrow in 2016:

The British Museum is full of stuff that has fuck all to do with London which poshos stole so this won’t make much difference tbf.

This is at the British Library. It's an exhibition of stuff from lots of other places.

In that case we would have to give Penshaw Monument back to the Greeks and you wouldn't want that would you?
