Rick Buckley, an artist fixed about 35 noses around the Capital as a protest to against the “Big Brother” society in 1997. About 10 survive today. See Evening Standard 13th October 2011.

I suspect most people pass Wellington’s nose without giving it a second glance (unless they are on a horse!)
Still to do the Highgate visit, but it’s one that I am keen to do. Thanks for the reminder 🙂

I suppose I should have looked up when I passed through the Arch. Now I wish I had a horse so I could ride through and give it a little rub for good luck.

Another place I loved in London is Highgate Cemetery – have you been there? It’s gorgeously Victorian Gothic and beautiful in autumn with red leaves scattered on the ground amidst the white marble and grey granite headstones.
