Hatwalk

Mayor Boris sponsored Hatwalk, where statues all over London have been given a hat by milliners like Philip Treacy and Stephen Jones. Sometimes you have to look quite hard for them, and the ones at Hyde Park Corner I didn't get to see, but here are some of the others. They went up overnight and will come down after just a few days.


The Duke of Wellington at the Bank of England


Captain John Smith in St Mary's churchyard - the one with the Bow bells


The Lovers, in St Paul's churchyard


Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the Victoria Embankment Gardens


Lord Nelson on top of his Column at Trafalgar Square



General Havelock on his plinth


and General Napier on his


George IV and his trusty steed


Beau Brummel in Jermyn St.

Good fun spotting them - I walked miles looking! They will be auctioned off for charity when they have been taken down.
