Enjoy a fun-filled game of padel tennis with your friends and colleagues this summer, near Tower Hill - at the City's first Padel Tennis court.
Enjoy stunning art installation Space Objekt: OA-515 and lunchtime street food market (Tues-Thurs) at Citypoint near Moorgate station. Afterwards, why not follow the Brookfield City Art Trail.
Situated in the heart of London’s urban sprawl, OA-515 by Space Objekt is an invitation for dreamers to get lost in their reverie. Invoking the notion of an environment made abundant by enabling rest and providing fertile conditions ripe for the imagination, the installation is a playful pitstop for busy professionals and passers-by making their way around Citypoint.
Taking inspiration from tropical climates and flora, OA-515 calls to mind idyllic holiday locales with a distinctly retro futuristic spin reminiscent of the Space Age. Bright colour gradients, iridescent surfaces responding to changes in light, and reflective panels creating ‘mirages’, all serve to uplift and imbue a sense of lightness and ease. Other design choices ground the work in Nature: undulating forms in the flooring reference water, necessary for the existence of life, and the shape of palm trees instantly conjures up warmer climates. Take a break, and escape to your happy place.
Lunchtime Street Food Market
Do something different for lunch - a revolving range of visiting street food trucks will be at Citypoint on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11.45am - 2pm.
London City Art Trail Map 2023
