English Heritage has a page on the subject: it probably has several, but this one caught the eye because it has a piece on our doorstep, just a walk in the park from Avery Hill Winter Gardens.
The page, published on 22nd January 2016, lists "41 sculptures across England designed to bring our public spaces back to life after WWII", a few of which have already been GT'd and several others already targets. It's clearly time to start a new collection. There is a supplementary list of five pieces for the North East.
[4Apr18] I might extend this list to cover targets in general. Accordingly, I'll add a source column (the key is below the table) and attempt to add the postcode for the pieces, especially those outside London.
