The City Wing - Threadneedle Walk, London, UK - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This bronze sculpture is between eight and ten metres tall representing the wing of a bird.

The GMW blog told us, before the unveiling, that:

Saturday saw the final piece of the development of 125 Old Broad Street craned into position, but you’ll not be able to appreciate it just yet, as the protective wrapping will remain in place for a couple of weeks.

The ten-metre-tall bronze sculpture by President of the Royal Academy of Arts, Christopher Le Brun, was commissioned by Hammerson in 2009. It is called ‘The City Wing’ and has been cast by Morris Singer Art Founders, reputedly the oldest fine art foundry in the world. It now stands at the eastern entrance to Threadneedle Walk at its junction with Old Broad Street.

A bit of investigation by our on-site reporter revealed a hint of bronze with white detailing, but for the full glory we will have to be patient.
