I cycled through Trafalgar Square earlier today and stopped by the Fourth Plinth to take a good look and snap a few pictures.
It was the first time I'd had a proper look at the present work for any length of time and I really enjoyed its architecturally playful form.
It also made me realise what a fantastic project this has been, the idea of using the redundant plinth to display a series of temporary works of art, commissioned from leading national and international artists and how it epitomised the adventurous and culturally sophisticated vision our previous Mayor had for London.
What a shame that it won't be long before Boris Johnson erects a statue of Margaret Thatcher where there were once these inspiring and beautiful works of art.
