A sweet skyline of London

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Museum of London Docklands the artist Chris Naylor has created a model landscape of London, using 2186 sugar cubes! Originally built in the 1800s by wealthy merchants and slave plantation owners, the building the museum is housed in once held great cargoes of sugar, rum and coffee.
