Painted Gorillas In London
Just after interviewing Boris Johnson at City Hall last week, Urban Times took some snaps of the twenty life-size gorilla statues that have taken over Tower Bridge. These gorillas are one third of a sixty-one-strong painted army – entitled Wow! Gorillas – that have been lined up on the Thames banks outside More London and are being taken down after a week having been very well received by the public. The artists have banded together to promote themselves and the species – everyone’s a winner!
