Of Wenlocks and Mandevilles


In case you didn't know already, the Wenlock is an Olympic mascot whereas the Mandeville represents the Paralympic games. Mandevilles have a larger triangular head with a cycling helmet hairstyle whereas Wenlocks are smaller necked.

As you can see, they were an instant hit with most kids like this Maritime Wenlock below.




Found the first Mandeville inside our hotel.




This golden raven patterned one was installed just along the pathway to the Tower of London.





The Beefeater Mandeville lay further down the cobbled road



 
With 83 statues scattered around London, if I weren't so hard pressed for time, I would have joined the hunting bandwagon too.
