From £199.00
To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, thousands of commemorative poppies will go on display at the iconic Tower of London.
The display will see nearly 30,000 of the original poppies, made for the 2014 installation, ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’, return to the Tower, marking the sacrifices made by so many during the Second World War.
The specially commissioned installation will resemble a ‘wound’ at the heart of the Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz. Poppies will pour across the lawn overlooked by the ancient White Tower, where the blood-red flowers will form a crater, with ripples flowing outwards. IBIS LONDON EXCEL DOCKLANDSThe IBIS London ExCel Docklands boasts a prime waterside location overlooking the Royal Victoria Dock. It is a few minutes walk to the Excel Exhibition centre and there is easy access into Central London.
