Join Mr Londoner, aka blue badge tour guide Antony Robbins, to discover artwork in and around London Bridge. The free walk will start with the newly installed mosaic at the bus station.

Titled ‘In a River a Thousand Streams’ and designed by internationally renowned artist Adam Nathaniel Furman, manufactured and installed by the London School of Mosaic. The production process included workshops in local spaces including offices and community spaces, so we want to celebrate this 57 metre long artwork and also consider other artworks within and around the station.

Starting off at the Mosaic in the forecourt of London Bridge Station, we will then be looking at other public artworks within the area.

You are welcome to join this event if you live or work in and around London Bridge.

Meeting point: The upper forecourt of London Bridge Station (By the bus station. In front of the mosaic.)

The concept behind Adam Nathaniel Furman vision for the work:

'The concept behind Adam Nathaniel Furman vision for the work:‘London is a city of astonishing diversity, a city of a thousand communities and identities qualities that have formed who I am, a mixed child of this great melting pot of acceptance and mixed-ness. Southwark and London Bridge are at the heart of this, a great node of people coming in and out, and moving around the city and the wider region every day, as well as being home to a super diverse population. All the amazing contrasts of the wider city are compressed into an intense and thrilling microcosm. ‘In a River A Thousand Streams’ takes these qualities and expresses them in an immediately comprehensible, visually engaging way. All the rich and various stories and histories and identities and communities and diverse figures that together form the brilliantly mixed unity that is London and its history, all anchored by our great river, are here symbolically brought together in a powerfully meaningful, but open and abstract composition’.
