'THE LION' THE NEW LANDMARK OF CHINATOWN LONDON
Tsai & Yoshikawa’s first public art sculpture, The Lion, was officially unveiled on 8 April 2009. The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Louise Hyams, who unveiled the statue said:
This new guardian of Chinatown’s gateway helps to give the area its own distinct identity and complements wider ambitious plans which are set to make London’s Chinatown the greatest in the world.
The Lion has been installed on the corner of Wardour Street and Shaftesbury Avenue where it will look over the millions of visitors who flock to Chinatown every year.
