PICCADILLY CIRCUS MURAL

Piccadilly Circus Coats on 264 Rathdowne St, Carlton Nth, offers an extensive range of quality ladies and men’s coats for all ages. Ever since I can remember passing by this place, I have looked at the mural that adorns the corner of the shop and illustrates a glowing wintry scene of Victorian London at Piccadilly Circus. The mural always cheers me up for some reason! It was unfortunate that recently the mural was spoiled by taggers, but I was glad to see the damage repaired.

This post is part of the Monday Murals meme,
and also par tof the Mellow Yellow Monday meme.

    What a delightful style of painting. Has so much more the feel of a record album cover that a mural, fascinating. Great capture, wonderful mural.

    The covered portico also evokes the Belle Epoque of the mural. But why Heinz soup? Now THAT made me smile. Thanks for contributing to Monday Mural.
