An audio experience exploring London’s most invisible icon -
the London Plane tree.
There is an epic story lining many of London’s busy streets, local parks and perhaps even right outside your front door.
A story about style, green lungs, cross-cultural romance, magnificence and resilience - yet nobody knows it.
In this imaginative and curiosity-filled audio experience by artist Sam Furness you will explore how the London Plane tree is one of the truly great icons of London.
HOW TO TAKE PART
You can listen to this 30 min story wherever you may be - but it’s best enjoyed with headphones, outside, on a walk and preferably in London. But as you’ll learn… this story reaches far beyond the Big Smoke.
Londoners: Berkeley Square, Highbury Fields, Victoria Park, Finsbury Park, Embankment - are all optimum spots to not just hear this story but experience it first hand.

In Plane Sight is an audio experience by Sam Furness.
“These incredible trees line a street I used to live on. As I paid more attention to them - their presence in this city became more and more felt. I began to draw parallels between their characteristics and London itself. They stopped simply being trees and became a part of the fabric of London in my eyes.”
