Sept 2011: Pigeons and Statues in Sloan Square

I had to pop into the Saatchi Gallery to see a photography exhibition and took the opportunity to take some photographs of Sloan Square. Its a very posh place, surrounded with some very expensive neighbourhoods.

On the other side of the central island is a statue of Venus.

A giant base. Looks like a cup. The carvings on the base relate to King Charles II and his mistress Nell Gwynn by the Thames. She used to live nearby. Amazing stuff.

A pigeon waiting for something. Damn flying rats.

She doesnt really look that Venusy like does she?
