During the Easter holidays we decided to visit The Elephant Trail at Battersea Power Station in London. We love a public sculpture trail, especially an animal one, and lunch at Battersea Power Station sounded pretty good to us too. We left the teen at home to revise for his exams and headed into London with the other teen and the dog.
The Elephant Trail at Battersea Power Station
Battersea Power Station is always a fun destination, but the sculpture trail was an added bonus. We downloaded the free app so we could collect the unique code on each sculpture, and also just in case we needed help to find them.
Fortunately the sculptures were both large and colourful, therefore easy to find. It was a lovely warm day so we were pleased to be outside in the sun, as well as heading indoors for the shade.
We’ve followed a couple of sculpture trails around Battersea Power Station now. It gives us a great reason to visit, and I admit we visited a few of our favourite shops too. It’s all dog-friendly so we could all take part, no-one had to stand outside with the dog!
The trail is free to visit and remains in place until the 26th April. As you collect each unique code you can add it to the app and collect rewards. We found 13 of the 21 sculptures dotted around the place.
The trail supports the wildlife charity Elephant Family, who protect Asia’s most endangered wildlife and the precious habitats they depend on.
