All creatures great . . .

. . . and small

London is full of surprises—you never know what you might encounter when you turn a corner. Three worth checking out:

Wild Table of Love — Near the exit of the Elizabeth Line at Paddington Station, you’ll find The Wild Table of Love by artists Gillie and Marc. This striking bronze sculpture features Rabbitwoman and Dogman seated at a table surrounded by the ten most endangered animals in the world. Viewers are invited to join them at the two empty seats.

The sculpture is part of Love The Last, a public art initiative aimed at raising awareness, funds, and support for endangered species worldwide. The Wild Table of Love was previously on display at Paternoster Square from June 2022 to May 2023 and will be at Paddington until July 2026.

Bonus : Just across the street is a charming clock featuring a lifelike man who “manually” adjusts the time every minute. This piece, created by Dutch artist Maarten Baas, is part of his Real Time series. The 12-hour recording blends art, design, and theatre, ensuring that every minute is unique. Once you start watching, it’s hard to look away. Similar clocks can be found in Amsterdam, Milan, and Venice.

Two Mice Eating the Cheese — Unlike the large-scale Wild Table of Love, Two Mice Eating the Cheese is London’s smallest public statue. Located on the exterior of an 1860s building near the popular Sky Garden, this tiny piece is said to commemorate two construction workers who tragically fell after fighting over a missing cheese sandwich—only to discover the sandwich had been eaten by mice.
