Kathryn Gustafson won the competition with something that is not a statue at all: an oval stream of water in a granite channel, five hundred and forty-five pieces cut by machine and laid by hand, that runs down both sides of the slope by the Serpentine, tumbling in one direction and swirling in the other, to a still pool at the bottom. It was meant to be touched, and after early arguments it is - you sit on the edge with your feet in it. The Queen opened it in July 2004, with the Spencers beside her, in a rare joint appearance.
Daily from 10:00; closes 16:00 in winter and 20:00 in high summer
Closed for repairs to its water system since July 2026, according to the Royal Parks; the granite is still there to sit on.
