Reclaim your lunch break with Wander Art, a socially distanced gallery experience on the streets of Mayfair and Belgravia
If you happen to be wandering through the streets of London’s Mayfair and Belgravia this month, it’s likely you’ll come across some unusual sights. Furry purple sloths clutching globes of light hang from the classically pillared entrance to the Mercato Mayfair food market; a cluster of colourful cartoon-style houses sprouts from the lush lawn of Lower Grosvenor Gardens; and an enormous joyful figure adorned with flowers sits amongst the facades of Brown Hart Gardens.
