        The Philpot Lane mice sculpture is said to be the smallest sculpture to be found in London. You need a bit of luck to spot them unless you already heard about them from somewhere. Basically two mice fighting over a peace of cheese with one mouse pushing the other off the side of the wall. It was created in 1862 by Richard William Barnes and originally installed on the facade of the nearby Old Bell Tavern, which was demolished in 1875. There are many different stories about the inspiration behind the sculpture. Probably nobody knows exactly but it is interesting for sure.

        This tiny sculpture on the building in Philpot Lane. Blink and you'll miss it. Legend has it, that two workers of this building were squabbling over a sandwich and as they were struggling, they fell off the scaffolding to their deaths. The monument in their memory, is two mice fighting over a piece of cheese!!! A fitting tribute
