Can you Find All 27 Of These Lions Around London?
Lions, lion-ing up in Piccadilly Circus

27 lions are currently roaming central London, but don't start legging it just yet — they haven't escaped from the zoo.

Tusk Lion Trail is a sculpture installation highlighting the importance of the conservation of African lions — their population is estimated to have declined by as much as 50% over the last 25 years.

As part of the initiative, a host of artists, musicians and comedians have decorated their own lion sculptures, which have now been scattered across the city.

Noel Fielding's psychedelic lion

So, you'll find Noel Fielding's psychedelic king of the beasts parading around Piccadilly Circus, Lee Mack's cheeky Three Shirts on a Lion sculpture at Bank, and Sally Wood and Jess Power's Lion King inspired lion in Carnaby.

You can use this map to tick them off as you go along.

London Pride

The life-sized lions are in London till the end of September. And if you happen to be in Bristol or Edinburgh anytime soon, you'll find even more of them. It really is a jungle out there.
