Penguin Sculptures Debut in Central London

A collection of penguin sculptures, representing Antarctic wildlife, has been installed in central London as a new public art display. These sculptures, standing 1.6m (5.2ft) in height, are scheduled to be exhibited until January 5. The project is a joint initiative by the Fleet Street Quarter and the World Wildlife Foundation. Created by Wild in Art, a company specializing in public art, the figures are located in New Street Square, Ludgate Circus, Chancery Lane, and Blackfriars. Each sculpture is equipped with QR codes that provide narrated information about penguins, voiced by comedian Olaf Falafel. Lucy French, chief executive of the Fleet Street Quarter, commented: “We hope everyone enjoys discovering these charming creatures and learning more about their world during the festive season.”
