A free walking trail of public art in the City of London, Sculpture in the City brings some much-needed colour to the corporate end of town. The 12th edition of the exhibition returns with 18 contemporary public artworks on show.
18 artworks by 17 artists from 10 countries, with internationally high-profile names as well as emerging artists, will be on display for a year against a backdrop of the City’s public spaces. The 2025/26 show includes 11 artworks from renowned and emerging artists including Ai Weiwei, Jane and Louise Wilson, Andrew Sabin, Julian Opie, Maya Rose Edwards, Samuel Ross, Richard Mackness, Elisa Artesero, Daniel Silver, and Oliver Bragg.
Download a map and info booklet from the website, the free app, or just use the maps on the displays next to each sculpture to lead you to the next. Allow around an hour; weekends will be blissfully quiet.
