Description
Philpot Lane Mice Sculpture is the smallest public sculpture in London, depicting two mice fighting over a piece of cheese. This charming miniature hides a fascinating history - it is said to commemorate a tragic accident in the 1860s, when two workers quarreled over lunch that the mice allegedly ate, leading to a fatal accident.
This small but charming sculpture has become a hidden London treasure worth discovering as you stroll through the city's historic corners. You'll get the best photos in the early morning or late afternoon, when the light perfectly highlights the details of this unique miniature art.
