There is a monument to Shackleton inside Westminster Abbey. But I guess your trip doesn't include London.... There is also a statue of him in a niche in the outside wall of the Royal Geographic Society on Kensington Road (near Royal Albert Hall) in London.

Just to mention. - and it might not be of interest - but the RSS Discovery which carried Scott and Shackleton to the Antarctic on their first voyage there, is berthed in Dundee and can be visited.Fascinating.
