1,8 Two pupils

London’s Public Art: Two Pupils

On a side street in Chelsea is a sculpture of two children playing, and they were made by a man who also designed a number of costumes for Doctor Who.

2 The Lioness and the Lesser Kudu, Grosvenor Gardens

3,4,5 The Goodman's Fields Horses. Sometimes there is flowing water which seems to be splashed by their hooves, but not when I was there.

6 The World Turned Upside Down, at the London School of Economics. Not really upside down of course, the orientation is completely arbitrary. At one time maps had East at the top, being the direction of Jerusalem, hence the word orientation.

'The World Turned Upside Down'

Soon after its unveiling, this giant inverted globe sparked controversy and was vandalized.
