The Elephant Parade

For anyone unaware The Elephant Parade is a charity event, where designers from all over the world have adorned fibre glass elephants. Each decorated by a different artist or celebrity, the elephants brighten and beautify the city, enhancing every park, street corner and building they grace. Running from May to July 2010, this is London’s biggest outdoor art event on record. With an estimated audience of 25 million, the aim is to raise £2 million for the Asian elephant and benefit 20 UK conservation charities.

The elephants are installed all over London to raise awareness towards the conservation of the animal, in India. And whilst I was in London on Thursday I spotted a few around Oxford Circus. Take a look at the ones I spotted, unfortunately I only spotted 6 of the 250 designs! However they are to remain in London over the summer, its my mission to photograph as many as possible!:
