Pride in the Quarter, June to August
Painted motifs inspired by water flow across the sculpture, including forms that echo the River Thames, reflecting the Strand’s historic relationship with the river. Colours drawn from London’s Underground lines are combined with Pride-inspired tones across the football and legs, creating a vibrant expression of diverse communities coming together. The design celebrates connection, movement and the collective energy that defines London.
e.g. about the local area (some famous landmark lions), World Cup stat, etc.
