A colony of Antarctic adventurers has waddled into the heart of London as part of a new street art installation.
The 1.6m (5.2ft) tall penguins, which will remain on display until 5 January, are a collaboration between the Fleet Street Quarter and the World Wildlife Foundation.
Produced by public art specialists Wild in Art, the sculptures can be seen in New Street Square, Ludgate Circus, Chancery Lane and Blackfriars and feature QR codes which offer narrated facts by comedian Olaf Falafel about our feathery friends.
Lucy French, chief executive of the Fleet Street Quarter, said: “We hope everyone enjoys discovering these charming creatures and learning more about their world during the festive season.”
