There are 30000 statues and monuments in London so either enjoy them as you wander the streets or research what you want to find before you head out into ...

I don't really know the answer to that question and honesty doubt anyone out there knows it. Why don't you go to the county hall and ask. I'm sure there must be a list of all monuments in London, no?
Regarding the difference between a statue and a monument I think that's for you to decide. My take on it is that a monument is a structure (however simple or complicated) erected as a memorial or celebration and that a statue requires representation of a human or animal. Ultimately a statue is always a monument but not all monuments are statues.

what would you class as a statue? is nelson's colum a statue? if so shouldn't the monumnet to the fire of london? nelson's column is to many a statue but the monument to the fire of london is not, why? they're both similar.
nelson's column

Sorry to be vaguely brutally honest (without intending to be sarcastic), but there are lots. Hundreds; maybe thousands.

An awful lot, and with new ones being erected almost daily, it would be impossible to count them all.
