A 57-metre lengthy wall that snakes across the bus cease exterior London Bridge station has been lined in a hand-made mosaic.
Known as In a River a Thousand Streams, it’s a murals by Adam Nathaniel Furman, and was made out of 250,000 particular person items of glass mosaic and took two years to finish. The mosaic was assembled remotely at Gospel Oak’s London College of Mosaics after which utilized in blocks to the concrete wall.
Though apparently a reference to the close by River Thames, the artwork is so summary in type that you simply’d by no means guess that from simply taking a look at it. It’s, nevertheless, a really vibrant and joyful addition to the in any other case bland walkway between London Bridge (the bridge) and London Bridge (the station).
The one draw back is that it’s solely on one facet of the wall, so individuals ready for a bus received’t see it.
