The architect behind the Bilbao Guggenheim, Frank Gehry, shows off his first structure in England, a special installation at London's Serpentine Gallery.

Inspired by Da Vinci's catapult and the striped walls of beach huts in summer: the world renowned architect Frank Gehry has unveiled his first structure in England, a temporary pavilion in London's Hyde Park.

Best known for the swooping, gleaming curves of the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Gehry is the latest 'starchitecht' to design the Serpentine Gallery pavilion.

His wood, glass and steel creation will remain open until mid-October.
