Artyface Community Art by Maud Milton
Discover beautiful community-made mosaic roundels by acclaimed artist Maud Milton at Blackhorse Road and St James Street stations. These modern tributes to the iconic TFL roundel feature local history, wildlife, and humorous touches created by over 3,000 community members.
At Blackhorse Road Station, find one magnificent large roundel inside the building, plus 15 smaller roundels adorning the Forest Road entrance pillars and overground platforms. Continue your William Morris Design Line journey to St James Street Station, where two more beautiful roundels await discovery, perfectly positioned on your route to Argall Avenue.
Created over several years, including during lockdowns, each roundel contains handmade tiles crafted by over 3,000 community members, including local secondary and primary school children, station staff and their families, and residents of all ages and abilities. The result is public art of the highest quality, packed with local history, beloved wildlife, neighbourhood personalities, and delightful humorous touches that will make you smile.
These permanent artworks are free to view 24/7, creating an accessible outdoor gallery that enriches your daily journey. As you travel the William Morris Design Line route, pause to examine the intricate details, hunt for hidden symbols, and appreciate how community creativity can transform everyday spaces into something extraordinary.
Take photos, share your discoveries, and join the thousands who've found joy in these community treasures.
