Nose around Soho
I had heard of the 7 noses of Soho. Richard Buckley, an artist, is said to have decorated the limits of that neighbourhood with 7 casts of his nose.
After a whole year of hunting them down, looking up, around till my neck hurt, I had put it down to urban legend.
An suddenly, my flair paid off! They DO exist - or at least one has survived. Just head for Meard Street and be nosey…
You’ll also find one around Trafalgar Square.
In floral street, it is another story, Tim Fishlock is said to have added an ear. Stay tuned!

Tout simplement fascinant… Ces oeuvres me rappellent les sculptures à taille humaine disposées en haut de certains immeubles new yorkais…

Dans le meme esprit, il y a les masques de gregos a paris.

Oui, une découverte qui transforme la promenade et l’impression de connaitre un petit secret invisible aux autres passant!

This is 68 Dean St – I’ve been inside so do contact the owner about a group guided tour.
It’s the owner poking fun at the council because with all the planning laws he had to comply with, they can’t stop him from having a nose on the end of his house. Love his sense of humour!
