The critically
acclaimed Sculpture in the City is an annual exhibition showcasing contemporary
works by internationally renowned artists in the confines of the City of
London, on streets, in squares or on buildings. The exhibition usually opens
around end June, and most sculptures are displayed until the following May.
2018 sees the
eighth incarnation of this popular attraction, displaying 19 artworks by as
many artists ranging considerably in scale – from large bronze sculptures, to
soundworks – 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) and the
Cheese Grater (the Leadenhall Building). Wander the City's public spaces and
stumble upon world-class public art, on an urban canvas recognised across the
globe.

10 met at the agreed time (broadly at least), 1 other struggled to get to L'pool Street at all what with the Central Line having massive gaps in service, but eventually caught up with the group, so n=11 on a w=dry-evening.
We took a full hour for the 2.3 km of a walk, studiously reading all the info panels en route. Reading was a touch difficult in places of course, due to the oncoming darkness, but what are smartphone torches for? 8 stayed on for a meal at the end.
