The story of the hare and the tiger may sound like one of Aesop s Fables, but it s actually a tale of Crouch Hill artworks.
Artist Ahmed Farooqui regularly installs works on the front of his house, and pre pandemic would turn over the whole of Space 36 to exhibitions as part of Crouch End Festival.
During the second lockdown, he put up a pair of giant colourful hares to watch over the neighbourhood, but after four months on show he donated one to the Sunnyside Community Gardens, and one to a local school.

Police are looking for a serial flasher who terrorised women in an Ealing park in broad daylight. Laura Begg, a professional dog walker from Northfields, entered the fields in Elthorne Park, when she noticed a man staring at her last week. The man walked behind some mounds and she could no longer see him. One of her dogs started barking and ran towards the mounds where he was hiding. The 35-year-old said: “As soon as he heard that he came running out from behind the mounds, pulling his trousers up.” The flasher then made his way towards the canal path and when it was safe to do so Begg spoke to Steve Lonergan, 46, who lives in a canal boat and had also seen him.
