This is the labyrinth at Fen Court, in the City of London, which I walked for World Labyrinth Day on Saturday. You can, of course, visit at any time you like as it's in a tiny public garden off Fenchurch Street. I'd been feeling stressed in the morning before I visited, but walking the labyrinth as a moving meditation very much helped improve my state of mind.
The lovely couple in the background gave their permssion for me to take the photo with them in the background. They both walked the labyrinth after me.
Fen Court also contains a sculpture called The Gilt of Cain', by Michael Visocchi, which commemorates the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. Nearby is The Garden at 120 - a recently opened rooftop green space with a viewing platform. It's normally free to visit and you can just turn up, but was closed for a private event on Saturday. I plan to go another time.
Aldgate East Station labyrinth
I used Aldgate East Station to get to Fenchurch Street and took the opportunity to find and photograph the labyrinth there too. It's part of a series created by Mark Wallinger for the Art on the Underground programme. There are 270 in the series with one at each of London's Underground stations that existed in 2013. You can see it in the photo below.
