Keys to the city

Londoners have been stirring to the sound of pavement pianos as an art project brings music to streets, public places and train stations.

The free pianos are in public spaces around London

The artwork, Play Me, I'm Yours by Luke Jerram, aims to encourage people to "take ownership of their urban environment".

Currently 30 pianos are in locations like St Paul's Cathedral, Millennium Bridge and Liverpool Street Station.

Others are sited in Soho and central London, at Tate Britain and Portobello Road.

The pianos, which are open to the public for impromptu recitals and come with songbooks, can also be booked to promote an event or a performance.

The project, which runs until 14 July, has been produced by a non-profit organisation Sing London and City of London Festival.
