Restored: The Girl & Dolphin
Among the crown jewels of St Katharine Docks is the Girl with a Dolphin Fountain – a masterpiece that pays tribute to the legendary tennis player Virginia Wade. Created by David Wynne, this iconic artwork depicts a girl suspended in water, reaching down to a dolphin swimming up towards her, exuding a sense of freedom and whimsy that enchants all who gaze upon it. The sculpture captures the motion of the dancing duo in bronze and is described as “full of joy and life” by Virginia Wade. As the water glistens in the sunlight and the statues come to life, visitors can’t help but be swept away by the beauty and grace of this timeless masterpiece.
