	ob 08	Sculpture	Central Saint Giles, St Giles High Street	2008	Steven Gontarski	—	The bright red abstract sculpture, which stands 5 metres high, is made of painted and lacquered glass-fibre-reinforced plastic. Gontarski wished to "create a heart in the midst of an urban development".[19]	—
	William	Sculpture	Central Saint Giles, St Giles High Street		Rebecca Warren	—	Adapted from a smaller work by the sculptor also titled William. The fluid, anonymous figure is intended to "speak of the ever-shifting present" and not of the past, and thus have the opposite qualities to most public sculpture.[19]	—
