Overview

I would like to travel from Cardiff to London to spend three days photographing approximately 65 public artworks, in order to complete the en:List of public art in the City of Westminster and submit it at FLC. I have drawn up a schedule for the three days which I can produce on request. I would use my own camera, a Panasonic DMC-FZ18, for the purpose; see here for an example of image quality.

Budget

I would be looking to stay in a youth hostel for two nights, at a cost of £66. The other main expenses are the coach tickets to London and back (about £17 at current prices) and entry to London Zoo (£24). Most of the travel between sites would be on foot but a few bus or tube journeys might be necessary. Before these are taken into account the total is £107, but ticket and accommodation prices might rise closer to the date.

Timeline

The trip would be from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 March 2014. I am aiming for the list to be featured by late July, so that there is a Today's Featured List on a London topic just ahead of Wikimania 2014 in August.

Expected outcomes

The outcome will be illustrations of every work on the List of public art in the City of Westminster bar the lost works, and the page being Featured.
