Tour Description:
Your journey begins in Trafalgar Square, where we’ll explore Nelson’s Column—but did you know it’s filled with hidden messages? Test your observation skills as we uncover its secrets. Next, we’ll visit the Fourth Plinth, a constantly changing contemporary sculpture platform. Will it be a giant ice cream? A golden boy? A skeletal horse? You decide which past piece was the most bizarre!
We’ll then head toward Hyde Park, where you’ll step into the ‘Animals in War’ Memorial, a tribute to the animals that served in battle. Here, you’ll have the chance to leave a personal tribute or create a short poem to reflect on the powerful imagery. At St. Pancras Station, we’ll see the grand ‘The Meeting Place’—but was this romantic embrace inspired by true love or something more controversial? You’ll be the judge.
At the British Library, put your problem-solving skills to the test as you crack a riddle inspired by Paolozzi’s ‘Newton’—a surreal, futuristic take on the scientist’s legacy. Then, experience ‘Quantum Cloud’ by Antony Gormley, a sculpture that appears to dissolve as you move. Try to spot the hidden human form inside—few people can!
The tour ends in Mayfair, where you’ll join Churchill and Roosevelt on their iconic bench, take a one-of-a-kind selfie, and debate what they might be discussing today. Finally, we conclude at ‘The Angel of Peace’, where you’ll be invited to play art critic—does this statue inspire hope, defiance, or something else entirely?
