Description

This is your chance to own a one-of-a-kind and larger-than-life piece of London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Game history!

City Cycling Mandeville was created by artist Sophie Green and appeared at various locations around London during summer 2012.

As part of the Mayor of London Presents programme of free cultural events and activities for the 2012 Games, "Stroll" guided visitors to London and Londonders alike through different points of interest, iconic setting and cityscapes around the capital using 84 Official and strategically-positioned Olympic and Paralympic Mascot as the landmarks. City Cycling Mandeville was one of these special mascots.

Each sculpture of Wenlock and Mandeville is around 2m in height and is often individually and colourfully designed, corresponding to their immediate surroundings while capturing an element of London life.

Proceeds from the sale of this mascot will be donated to the Mayor's Fund for London, the charity with aims to inspire and improve the life chances of London's most disadvantaged children by ensuring they have skills and support to succeed. To find out more, visit www.mayorsfundforlondon.org.uk.
