Walk Notes |
This walk makes use of the The Line – London’s first dedicated modern and contemporary art walk, which is fully waymarked and split into three parts, linked by a short DLR ride and the IFS Cloud cable car across the Thames. It is displaying a changing range of sculptures, all by prominent artists, while including some large artworks already in place. There are currently about twenty of them, although some of those were pre-existing artworks, in situ before The Line was launched.
