19 new artworks have appeared in public spaces across the Square Mile for Sculpture in the City 2019.

The annual art event is now in its ninth year, and installs artworks in public spaces to be enjoyed for free. Some artwork from last year's edition remain on show, including I'm Staying by Shaun C Badham in Leadenhall Market, and Do Ho Suh's Bridging Home.

This year's offerings include a new neon artwork in Leadenhall Market (pictured above), a floral video installation beneath a skyscraper, and some colourful columns on a City street. Browse the photos below, or get out and explore for yourself.
