Why are there giant statues of Gog and Magog in the Guild-hall in London, weren't they meant to be the bad guys in the Book of Ezekiel?

If you want to present a story from the bible you should give chapter and verse and then explain your point. It's not nice to make people guess what you are talking about or why you say what you say. People talking about the bible almost always misquote it. Even the people who taught me that often misquoted things.

Gog, found in chapters 38 and 39 of Ezekiel and is there applied to the leader of a stormlike multinational assault on God's people. The attack comes after Jehovah God has gathered his people out of the nation's and restored them to the previously devastated "mountains of Israel." Because they dwell in security, with no visible signs of protection, and because they enjoy abundant prosperity, Got is drawn into waging a vicious, all out attack upon them. He congregates a vast army from many nations for this purpose. But his assault sets off Jehovah's rage and brings terrible defeat and destruction upon Gog and his entire crowd. Their carcasses become food for birds and beasts, and their bones are buried in the valley that thereafter is called the valley of Gog's crowd.

Identification of Gog. The lands and peoples mentioned in the prophecy relating to Gog are known from the bible and to some extent from secular history. But efforts to identify Gog with some historically known earthly ruler have not been successful. Most frequently suggested is Gyges, king of Lydia in western Asia fminor, called Guggu in the records of Assyrian monarch ashurbanipal. (Ancient records of Assyria and Babylonia, by d. Luckenbill, 1927, vol 11, pp. 297, 351, 352)Gyges, however, had died decades before the writing of ezekiel's prophecy. Hence, such identification is unacceptable. 
Additionally, the prophecy itself places God's attack in "the final part of the years," "in the final part of the days." (Ezekiel 38:8,16; compare Isaiah 2:2; Jeremiah 30:24; 2timothy 3:1) for these reasons, the name Gog is evidently cryptic or symbolic, not being that of any known human king and leader.
