The Lord Mayor’s Show is the oldest, longest and least-rehearsed civic parade in the world. For more than 800 years, visitors flock to the City of London to watch the newly elected Lord Mayor wave to the crowds from his golden chariot. But the colourful procession has evolved over the years and is now as likely to feature rainbow banners as wandering Minstrels.
How often do you notice the area you work in? Caught up in the frantic rush of getting to and from work on time, we barely register our surroundings. But while we’re dashing in and out of revolving doors; sprouting up amidst the sky-scrapers of the Square Mile are some of the world’s most cutting-edge pieces of contemporary art. Featuring leading names such as the legendary Damien Hirst and America’s Bruce Beasley, Sculpture in the City aims to enhance our urban environment and make us see our work environment from a fresh perspective.
