‘The Blackhorse Road station art project enhanced and complimented the £900,000 station improvements completed in 2018, which was funded jointly by Transport for London and the Greater London Authority, working with Waltham Forest Council. The new artwork and improvements integrate with the wider improvements to the area including the improvements to the Standard Junction, route along Forest Road and, the new housing and commercial developments in the Blackhorse Lane area and new links to the Walthamstow Wetlands.’

“I think they’re absolutely fantastic. I love the bird theme and it just brightens my walk every time I walk past it. If you’ve got local people working on things like this then they will have a real sense of pride in that they can see what they’ve accomplished. It’s going to be there for such a long time as well, the longevity of them are really important.
This section of Church Hill a couple of years ago was just not anywhere near as lovely and as welcoming as it is now. The fact that they’ve pedestrianised this part and that these murials are here is the icing on the cake really.”
