Mural

A montage of scenes, all relevant to the area at the time: construction activities, the Post Office tower, an angry cat, a TV screen advertising death-bringing cigarettes, footballers, some people around a table who are ironing, reading a newspaper entitled Tower, reading a book and looking at a crystal ball, Horace Cutler (then leader of the GLC) as a Dracula-like creature pointing at Council Hall plans for sky-scrapers, a window-cleaner, office workers using computer-like machines to churn out bills, a clockwork architect on roller-skates at a drawing board (we can't explain but it must be an interesting story), an innocent-looking boy, a tailor, a disk jockey, a man in a fur coat reaching for a stack of bank notes with dice and cards nearby, various men and women in non-European clothes, such as saris, some people in a pub, a man mixing a cocktail, people in a restaurant, nurses, one of whom is holding an umbrella over a pregnant woman getting into an ambulance, and the central section of traffic (pictured here). We've heard that Dylan Thomas is depicted but we can't identify him. Created in 1980. When Time Out compiled a list of London's best murals this came out number 1.
