Peter Pan planters at GOSH

Site: Peter Pan planters at GOSH (1 memorial)

WC1, Great Ormond Street, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Paul O'Gorman Building

Cars, cars, grrr, impossible to take photos of the building that also show the planters, positioned on the steps.

These planters caught our attention because of the unusual repeating decoration on their sides. Given the location we believe the sprinting figure represents Peter Pan and, call us fanciful, the star above his head is surely Tinkerbell.
