ESCAPE TO THE SOUTH BANK

For many years there has been a campaign to get a stretch of the South Bank designated as an official 'Sculpture Park'. It's no wonder. The stroll between St Thomas's Hospital and the National Theatre alone has some 17 notable sculptures/artworks.

From the 1682 stone statue of King Edward VI to the imposing 2016 figure of Mary Seacole (pictured), striding off in front of a huge disc hewn from Crimean rock.

Some of the sights might be familiar (Nelson Mandela at the Royal Festival Hall) but many are off the beaten track and deserve more attention.

So I hope you can join me on this fascinating stroll through London's public art history.

The cost as usual is £10.00 CASH payable on the day.

Any enquiries to me, David N, on 07990 593 365
