Various places take ‘time’ to see and explore, but then there are some places that don’t! I’m not joking!!! I’m talking about sculptures, installations and street art in public! It doesn’t make sense to get out just to visit these places, but if it’s on your way, they shouldn’t be missed! Here are 5 such places in London!!!
The Rolling Bridge was designed by Heatherwick & was built in 2005. Its 12m long and has 8 planks (so rolls up to an octagonal shape!). The Fan Bridge was designed by Knight Architects and 20m long, built in 2014. This opened up like a Japanese Fan! While Rolling Bridge caters to a small branch of the basin, the Fan Bridge is across the basin! Somehow I never got to see it in the rolled form or fan form!!! Check it out when you’re visiting Paddington or Hyde Park or Little Venice.
