London's first dedicated modern contemporary art walk, The Line brings together works by artists such as Damien Hirst, Antony Gormley, Gary Hume, Abigail Fallis and Martin Creed. Named The Line due to its route along the Meridian Line, the walk runs from Greenwich to Stratford, between the O2 and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Whether you choose to walk or cycle the route, it will take you on a journey along winding waterways, with the chance to not only discover the sculptures along the way - from DNA DL90 by Abigail Fallis to Sensation by Damien Hirst - but also other hidden gems of east London, including creative garden Cody Dock and Grade I listed House Mill. The sculptures will be on display for two years but the organisers hope to add to the exhibition over time.
