FREEDELIVERY

Until 20 August 2023

This unique, free public art trail has taken over the City of London’s most famous sights for the summer. Starring muchloved mischief-maker Morph, the UK’s first ever step-free quest is hosted by Whizz-Kidz, the UK’s leading charity for young wheelchair users, in partnership with Thameslink Railway.. Everyone can enjoy this accessible art experience, discovering the 56 super-sized Morph sculptures (and 23 mini-Morphs!) in iconic London locations, from the Tate Modern to Borough Market to the HMS Belfast. All uniquely painted with a story behind each design, this experience will help young wheelchair users go further. You can download a trail map or view an online map.

See how many Morphs you can spot and get a selfie with! The beloved clay cartoon character will be sitting by a set of London landmarks to add a little smiley cheer to the summer. Each one you find will showcase the artwork of talented artists from across the country who have come together with leading businesses to create diverse designs. Don’t miss the work of local school pupils who are also showing off their artistic skills on a smaller scale with Mini Morph sculptures.

Between now and 20th August, Londoners can and find every single one that’s scattered around the capital!

Can you find them all?

Whizz-Kidz, Thameslink and Morph are working together to shine a light on issues of disability, inclusion, and accessibility. They share a vision of a society where every young wheelchair user is mobile, enabled, and included. Thameslink has step-free access from train to platform, as well as to street level, at its central London stations. These include London Blackfriars and London Bridge - ideal hopping off points for the trail. When the Trail ends, the super-sized Morph sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for Whizz-Kidz. See website for more details.

Morph Epic Adventure is one of multiple events that form City of London’s Summer in the City Guide. The guide has just launched alongside Destination City, City of London’s first destination brand and website dedicated to showcasing the City’s world class culture, heritage, experiences, food & drink etc. Please visit thecityofldn.com/ events/summer-in-the-city
