This year’s Bloomsbury Festival has things to look out for in our gardens.

ECHO by Joe Duggan, Russell Square
A new public sculpture by artist Joe Duggan, commissioned by the Commissioners of Russell Square, this monumental artwork stands 4 metres tall in Russell Square Gardens, resembling hastily erected metal scaffolding with a concrete boulder precariously balanced on top, seemingly defying gravity’s force.
Supported by the Henry Moore Foundation. Open until 10 November, Russell Square  FREE – Just turn up

Two Photo Exhibitions, Brunswick Square railings (until 28 October, Free)
