Has anyone been to London to spot the elephants scattered all about as part of the Elephant Parade?

 

It's a scheme to highlight the plight of the endangered Asian elephant. There are 258 elephants all over London and some of them are quite spectacular.

You can download a map telling you where they all are. DD and I were out for around 5 hours yesterday and only spotted 58! There were loads of families out spotting too. The elephants are the same size as a baby elephant and have been decorated by a selection of artists.

Such fun to go looking for them all. Good exercise and a chance to see bits of London you might not usually visit.

We were in London last week end and only spotted (and photographed) 32 elephants. Some were really cool! There are about 20 odd in Green park right by Buckingham Palace. We were going to an exhibition on wildlife art and other works by David Shepherd at the Mall galleries so it was really close by - in fact they were also rehersing trooping the colour too, which was an added bonus! The horses were beautiful and very smart. I also fed some squirrels and one sat on my arm to eat the banana chip i was giving him. So cute. Oh and i saw the Victory in the bottle on the spare plinth. I love days in london like that, when something unexpected and wonderful brightens your day (Especially as the heavens opened)

YS has just come back from a week at Scout camp. They took the train into London and saw the Elephants. I am so :mrgreen: but I am so glad that you posted about this otherwise I wouldn't have known what he was talking about :D

 

This was his favourite - The Polar Bear Elephant. It took me a while to 'see' the polar bear :Delephaant.jpg

Thank you so much for posting this, surprisingly I hadn't heard anything about it before.

Now, several friends and family will enjoy this I'm sure, and I'll definitely be going soon myself.

 

I learn so much on this forum! :D
