Take a seat with the "Nature Rising" figures at Canary Wharf. These life-sized sculptures, crafted by Agrumi Topiary Art, were designed to bridge the gap between urban life and the natural world. Composed of moss and dried flowers, they are part of a series of 21 unique installations that invite visitors to pause and reconnect with nature amidst the glass and steel of the city.

A new Banksy artwork appeared last week on Pall Mall in London. The work shows a man stepping off a plinth, mid-stride, holding a flag that obscures his face. The piece continues Banksy’s use of public space to present anonymous, politically suggestive imagery.

View of the Moat area at the Tower of London. It has the basic shape laid out in the 1270s and, over the centuries, shifted from a dry barrier to a water-filled moat, served as a deterrent to attackers, housed prisoners’ gardens, and today stands as one of the Tower’s most atmospheric and photogenic features.
