In 1997 sixty-two containers fell off the cargo ship Tokio Express after it was hit by a rogue wave off the coast of Cornwall, including one container filled with nearly five million pieces of Lego, much of it sea themed.

London is not just a city of ten million people, it is also home to an extraordinary diversity of beautiful wildlife.
