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, which are linked by a short DLR ride and the Emirates Air Line cable car across the Thames. It was meant to display a changing and increasing range of sculptures, all by prominent artists. There are currently about ten of them, but more funds have been difficult to come by.
