2023/24 sees the twelfth incarnation of this popular attraction,
displaying 24 artworks by 17 artists ranging considerably in scale – from large
steel-, neon- or fabric-works to small bronze plaques, thoughtfully placed between
iconic architectural landmarks such as the Gherkin (30 St. Mary Axe), the
Walkie-Talkie (20 Fenchurch Street), the Lloyd’s-Building (aka the Inside-Out
Building, at 12 Leadenhall Street), the Scalpel (Lime Street) and the
Cheesegrater (the Leadenhall Building). Wander the City's public spaces and
stumble upon world-class public art, on an urban canvas recognised across the
globe.

brasseries and restaurants. Some of whom may sell takeout drinks and snacks.

n=10 walkers, including 2 friends of a regular and 1 SWC old-timer, who hadn't been on a group walk in 20 years! Ther weather was w=cold-for-the-time-of-year-with-a-touch-of-drizzle-at-times
Plenty of new sculptures to admire compared to previous outings, and we got around the route in 90 minutes, when 3 left for home, while 7 went for a drink at The Swan (as the Grapes was closed for a refurb), and 2 of those then nipped off to have dinner.
