TAKING ART TO THE STREETS OF LONDON


Charles Saumarez-Smith is the former director of the National Gallery in London. The gallery is home to one of the greatest collections of Western European paintings in the world.

In this edition of People and Places, we go with Charles for a walk around the lively London streets of Soho and Covent Garden. Why? Well, the National Gallery was putting 44 life-size, framed paintings on the walls of alleyways, shops and restaurants.

Find out why!
