Yesterday I took a different route through an area I thought I knew intricately and stumbled across this sculpture group. In the 3 years that I have been guiding in this particular area I had somehow never ventured down this road.
It’s amazing what can be found tucked away in the back streets.
So … do you know where they are? Two places on my Soho Sunday Pub Themed Stroll on Sunday 28th April 12.30pm to 2.30pm are up for grabs if you can identify (a) the street they are in and (b) who the scene is commemorating – both the second and third statues represent real people.
The only clues I’ll give at this stage is they are in the City of Westminster and have been there for less than a year. First person to email me with the correct answers wins two places on the walk. Closing date is midnight (UK time) on Wednesday 10th April 2013.
I now have a winner! The location of the sculptures is in Bourdon Place, Mayfair and the scene shows a shopper stumbling across a photo shoot. Terence Donovan is the photographer and Twiggy is the model. The sculptures are yards away from the green City of Westminster plaque commemorating Terence Donovan. Bourdon Place runs parallel with Grosvenor Hill and Grosvenor Street. http://www.nealfrench.co.uk/portfolio/grosvenor-group/
Thanks for the informative post. I have never seen this place, Thanks again.
You're welcome!
