Mark Wallinger’s Labyrinth features 270 unique works, one for each of the stations on the London Underground. The work was unveiled in celebration of the London Undergrounds 150th anniversary.

Wallinger told the Evening Standard “One thing about a labyrinth is that it looks confounding but actually all you have to do is follow your nose and you’ll get to the centre ” The labyrinths “seemed to chime with the experience of the Tube”.

The work will first appear at: Baker Street, Bank, Embankment, Green Park, King’s Cross St Pancras, Oxford Circus, St James’s Park, Tottenham Court Road, Victoria and Westminster.
