Couple on Seat - Cabot Square, Docklands, London, UK - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The plaque for this statue is not located on the piece but on nearby wall a few metres to the north east. The plaque reads:
"Couple on Seat / by Lynn Chadwick / bronze, 2000".

If the couple were to stand up they would probably be about twice lifesize. A few years ago there used to be a geocache (GC1N5VY Isle of Dogs Trail - Cabot Queen Skirt) concealed on the statue but was archived early in 2010.

As of February 2011 this was number seven in the "Top 10 Modern Sculptures in London" list created by Londonist. The entry reads:

"7. Couple on Seat by Lynn Chadwick
And what a couple. Why the rhombic and pyramidal noggins? Is it a subtle distillation of the countless meetings taking place around Cabot Square at any given time? He’s thinking inside the box. She has a point. We don’t know, but the work is typical of the London-born artist, whose mis-shapen bronze humanoids can be found around the world. It’s also good for impromptu orgies, apparently. A few years back, another of Chadwick’s sculptures was stolen from Roehampton University."
