12 Times That The Sand Sculptures On Thames Beach Had Us Truly Amazed

Yes, London does actually have a natural beach and not just one hidden in a hotel. But it’s the magnificent sculptures that get made out of the sand that really has us talking …

We don’t know how long they take or indeed, exactly who does them but all we know is that anytime we walk by the tiny beach on The Thames, there’s a stunning sand sculpture that has us gawking like a lost tourist. Sorry tourists, no offence.
