Alll around the city - you'll need sharp eyes to spot them though!
What?
These plaster of paris reproductions of the artist's nose can be spotted on buildings around London. These were created by Rick Buckley in 1997 and while 35 were originally created and attached buildings such as the National Gallery and Tate Britain, only about 10 now remain dotted around the capital in places such as St Pancras Station and Dean Street.

| A Soho nose (credit) |
Buckley stuck the noses up in protest at the increasing number of CCTV cameras in the city and the rise of the 'Big Brother' society.
Anyone interested in more nose-casts should also try to find the 'Seven Noses of Soho' - apparently if you can located all seven then great riches will be yours...maybe even enough for a nose job?
How much?
Not a penny.
I definitely wouldn't sniff at a nose-hunting trip round London, it sounds like a hoot(er). But maybe I'm just nose-y...
