Unfortunately, due to some elephants being unsuitable for outdoor display, not all of the elephants can be displayed at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Approximately 20 elephants will be available to view at Westfield from 21st - 30th June.

Pretty Much o/

There are 250 model Elephants painted by various artists scattered around London. The aim from this display is to raise awareness for endangered Asian elephants, as well as advertise them for a later auction. Money from the auction will be donated to charity for elephants.

I remember the cows all over Europe one year. They were amazing too.

Just got back from the Royal Chelsea Hospital - despite it not being officially opened for public viewing today. By chance MariaLionza was going too, so we had a lovely afternoon wandering round all the baby elephants, with a Pimms in my hand!

It is a shame the outside viewing finishes tomorrow, when so many people are enjoying them.
