June 22, 2024, The Line Modern Art Walk from Stratford to North Greenwich

Lovely walk with some interesting items along the way

Chris

September 19, 2024, The Line Art walk

Best use the map https://the-line.org/map/ to locate all the installations, the way marking is a bit intermittent. Excellent walk, mixture of artwork and plenty of additional art not officially on The Line!
