Are the traditional Guardians of the City of London.
According to the Lord Mayor show website: https://lordmayorsshow.london/history/gog-and-magog
It describes them as "“Corineus and Gogmagog were two brave giants who richly valued their honour and exerted their whole strength and force in the defence of their liberty and country; so the City of London, by placing these, their representatives in their Guildhall, emblematically declare, that they will, like mighty giants defend the honour of their country and liberties of this their City; which excels all others, as much as those huge giants exceed in stature the common bulk of mankind.”
According to wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gog_and_Magog though during a cross reference to wtf these effigies are
Chapters 19:11–21:8 of the Book of Revelation, dating from the end of the 1st century CE,[26] tells how Satan is to be imprisoned for a thousand years, and how, on his release, he will rally "the nations in the four corners of the Earth, Gog and Magog," to a final battle with Christ and his saints
