Hoxton s singing sharks have found a new temporary home at Islington Boat Club in the City Road Basin.
The large singing fibre-glass sharks were removed from Regent’s Canal in Hoxton last year after Hackney council requested a last-minute injunction granted by the High Court.
Architect Jamie Shorten, who designed the sharks, said: I am happy to see all five of the sharks free and together again and in their natural environment, which is Islington.
Architect Jaimie Shorten s art installation was the winning design in the world renowned Antepavilion competition last year.
