 Andrew ("Red") Mason after Edward Pierce Unveiled 29 June 1989 by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, as part of the celebrations for the tercentenary of William and Mary's accession.

ob 08 Sculpture Central Saint Giles, St Giles High Street 2008 Steven Gontarski

 The bright red abstract sculpture, which stands 5 metres high, is made of painted and lacquered glass-fibre-reinforced plastic. Gontarski wished to "create a heart in the midst of an urban development".[19]

William Sculpture Central Saint Giles, St Giles High Street Rebecca Warren
