Sculpture in the City is back along with a fun new pop-up shop in Leadenhall Market. If you work nearby scroll down to the end of this blog for more details – you won’t be disappointed. Here’s a hint of what’s in store …
Let’s look at some sculpture first, and I shall include the explanatory plaques that accompany the works. This is just a selection – go to the website for full details.
I’ll start with the seriously weird at Aldgate Square EC3N 1AF …
Onward now to others starting with Summer Moon at Undershaft EC3A 8AH (Next to St Helen’s Church) …
I love the texture …
… and the location …
Sandwich at Undershaft, EC2N 4AJ (In front of Crosby Square) …
Rough Neck Business at 100 Bishopsgate EC2M 1GT …
Orphans at Cullum Street EC3M 7JJ …
Burial at St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate Churchyard EC2M 3TL …
Cosmos at Undershaft EC3P 3DQ (Between Aviva and the Leadenhall Building) …
Untitled at 70 St Mary Axe EC3A 8BE …
Generations (Part2) at The Leadenhall Building EC3V 4AB …
Miss at the corner of Bishopsgate & Wormwood Street EC2M 3XD …
And finally The Granary at Cunard Place EC3A 5AR …
Now for something completely different and lighthearted.
The fantastic Monster Supplies Company has opened a pop-up store in Leadenhall Market only a few steps from the Lamb Tavern …
Train strike day – no problem! Just grab a very reasonably priced flying broomstick and soar above the traffic as you head home …
The store was packed with visitors when I called in yesterday …
With Halloween coming up, and Christmas not far behind, there are lots of wacky present opportunities …
Kids seemed to love items with rather disgusting or gruesome names …
These are difficult times so pop along to Leadenhall Market. I guarantee you will feel more cheerful after your visit and maybe come away with Hope and Laughter …
The shop is open Tuesday to Friday from 11:00am to 6:00pm. If you can’t visit in person for any reason you can buy online here.
All proceeds from sales go to support the wonderful Ministry of Stories charity, a creative writing and mentoring centre for young people in Hackney aged 8 to 18. You could also visit their store in Hoxton which I have written about before in my blog entitled, not surprisingly, A visit to the Monster Supplies Store.
