London, England, UK

Welcome to Swiss Court in London.  First came the crown (1977) for the Queen's Jubilee.  Then came the shields (1991) to mark Switzerland's 700th birthday. These are the cantonal shields, emblems of local self-government, that you see all over the Swiss Confederation.  They add just as much color and interest to the West End as they do to the Swiss Alps.
