Found it!

Kelly’s Eye is so-called after the one-eyed Australian gangster Ned Kelly. Mythologised as a Robin Hood style figure, Ned Kelly became a folk hero to many Australians for his defiance of the colonial authorities. The focal point of Trafalgar Square, Nelson’s Column could be said to look like a number one and Nelson also had just one eye.
