View of the Charing Cross Underground Station mural by David Gentleman. Installed on the Northern line platforms in the late 1970s, it tells the story of the building of the original Eleanor Cross at Charing Cross, with the scenes arranged almost like a strip cartoon and drawn from Gentleman’s wood engravings.

View of the staircase and ceiling paintings commissioned by George I at Kensington Palace in London, painted by William Kent, 1725–27.

"Look across this staircase and you will come face to face with some of the workers who helped to keep Kensington Palace running in the 1720s. From guarding the court to dressing the monarch, their roles were vital and varied. Paintings of workers in grand locations such as this were highly unusual at the time. These special portraits remind us of their diverse skills, origins and contributions to palace life."
