Not especially huge but it was odd going past Dashi Namdakov's feline statue at Marble Arch last year because it kinda looked like the statue of the demon Pazuzu from the Exorcist.

i remember when that was in the serpentine - there were some other large sculptures there as well, a large hand iirr. anyway I swim there p much daily during the non-winter months, and swimming around and under them felt bloody odd, like I was a Lilliputian or something.
