The sculpture can be found on the left-hand side of Queens Road when facing towards the sea, around 200m from Brighton Station. You will find the sculpture on a flat surface tucked to the side, where there are colourful railings around the area.

There is a step-free accessible slope directly down to the sculpture itself by the traffic lights across the joining of Gloucester Road and Queens Road. Please note that this is a relatively tight corner going downhill onto the space where the sculpture will be.  Once onto the level surface, there is adequate room for a wheelchair to manoeuvre around the sculpture on a relatively flat, concrete surface.

By Bus – The nearest routes that stop by this sculpture will be the 7, 12, 14, 27, 27C, 47, 52 and 77 at the ‘North Road’ (South Bound) stop.

By Train – If you’re arriving from the station, the sculpture is a short 200m distance down Queens Road from the Queens Road station exit.

• Keeping to the left of the road (on the side of Budgens), the sculpture will be on your left on the corner of Gloucester and Queens Road.
• Please note that this is a downwards slope. The pavement is wide with a smooth surface.

Noise Levels – 6-7/10

As Queen’s Road is one of the busier roads in Brighton, please be aware that it may be quite noisy. If the weather is warm, this will be one of the busiest roads as people make their way down to the beach. Noise from nearby traffic, including sirens and horns, may also be quite loud in this area.

There is a map next to the sculpture with information about Brighton and Hove.

Pavements are wide around the sculpture, and the crossings are accessible, but be prepared for crowds.

This BookBench is a highly detailed and intricate portrayal of a glimpse into a hedgerow. Surrounded by trailing vines, leaves, sprouting flowers and overhanging tree branches are numerous members of our wildlife. A deer, a squirrel, hedgehog, little birds and even a tiny spider can be seen amongst the bushes. Through a gap in the trees, are rolling hills dotted with sheep. Largely greens and browns, this bench pops with pinks, purples and yellows from the surrounding florals.
