Go... and be inspired. It's free.
Below are some carved wooden pieces from the streets of London (clockwise from top left): Bishopsgate, Bayswater, Kennington, Bishopsgate, Clapham, Kings Cross.

London has lots to see, and I don't mean the obvious tourist attractions – I mean the wonderful details that are all around us such as coal holes, old wall ads (ghost signs), doorway mosaics, boot scrapers, pub signs, street names, even letterboxes and door knobs. Please click anywhere within any image or group of images to view them at a larger size, or see my photos on Flickr by clicking the icon in the left hand column.

I would have loved to go. I am an avid wood carver. I work on drift wood.
You've still got time to go there... It doesn't finish until April 7th. NOte that the click for the map on Richmond's site takes you to the wrong place! The gallery is off Hill Street, really close to Richmond Bridge
Those are beautiful wood carvings. By the way, in the present wood carving industry, are they still using chisel to carve woods?
when hand-carving... yes, they are still using chisels
