Pride in the Quarter, June to August
This lion explores contrast in colour and form to create a sense of balance, unity and belonging. Inspired by London’s layered architecture and movement, the geometric composition reflects the many people and experiences that shape the city. Bold colours and stripe-like elements subtly reference football culture and moments of collective pride, bringing contemporary energy to the sculpture within Eccleston Yards.

Eccleston Yards, nestled within Belgravia Village, is a dynamic and modern hub that brings together creativity, wellbeing, and community in the heart of central London.
At its core is a beautifully designed open-air courtyard, offering a peaceful, pedestrian-friendly space just moments from Victoria Station. The area is known for its curated mix of restaurants and wellness experiences, making it a popular spot for those seeking a laid-back yet contemporary atmosphere.
Set against the backdrop of Belgravia’s historic streets, Eccleston Yards stands out with its blend of heritage architecture and modern design. Throughout the year, especially in summer, the space comes alive with events such as fitness classes, pop-ups, and outdoor Wimbledon screenings, creating a lively and welcoming environment.
