The 'Herd of Hope' is a collection of 21 life-sized bronze elephants that have been exhibited in London to raise awareness of elephant poaching and endangerment, in Africa.
The sculptures are the work of Gillie and Marc Schattner.
The herd began its London journey in Marble Arch before moving to Spitalfields, where you can get up close and personal with these majestic animals.
Each elephant is modelled after a real orphaned elephant and each sculpture has a QR code, which links to videos about the orphan's rescue.
The sculptures consist of 21 elephants, led by a matriarch and 20 smaller elephants, each with its own personality.
I am unsure as to how long these wonderful creations will remain, in Spitalfields, so, if you wish to see them, I wouldn't wait too long to visit.
