This is the 14th Edition of Sculpture In The City, which I'd not heard of before, but saw it featured in The Standard newspaper. It is an annual sculpture park that uses the urban realm as a rotating gallery space.

I am not familiar with the city, but this walk helped join up quite a few dots, as well as seeing some interesting pieces of sculpture.
It was a bit frustrating to start with because the location of some of them was not very obvious.

I stumbled across this building on Fenchurch Street. They were clients of H&P, who I worked for as a graphic designer -- my first 'proper' job. I have attended meetings, as well as putting up exhibition displays here.

After completing the walk and seeing all the 'art', I headed up to Bank and then onto the Guildhall, where I had a quick look around the art gallery.
