A rainbow artwork has appeared in Soho Square to welcome Londoners out of the latest stage of lockdown restrictions.
Looking suspiciously like it should have a children’s swing in it, the 2-metre high tubular rainbow has been created by London-based artist Graham McLoughlin, and is said to reflect both the local gay community and the NHS rainbow
The artwork is called OHelloSunshine.

Graham McLoughlin’s work became more widely recognised following his HeartsOfLondon art installation in 2015, comprising 14 heart-shaped cycle stands across London to celebrate British design and promote cycling in the city.
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

The picture and endless reproductions is the colour spectrum we ‘all’ know, based on the original six identified by Newton. Somewhat later he did add indigo into the mix, which sat between blue and violet.
I think now science refers to spectral colours. These are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and violet.
Um, ask the average person what cyan is……. ‘nuf said.
Well, that’s a shame.
There’s a definitive way the EM spectrum works, and with it the order of colours, and which way that order goes.
This is not it.
Tubular? Yes. Rainbow? No.
Art is not meant to be a factual scientific expression though.
