EXPLORE ART IN BRENT CROSS TOWN
At Brent Cross Town, we’ve always believed in the power of public art to inspire and enlighten, as well as brighten the neighbourhood. We’ve already commissioned and completed seven incredible, iconic works, with more to follow in the coming years.
Take a stroll around the neighbourhood and see how many you can find.
In 2026, Monet’s masterpiece, ‘The Water-Lily Pond’, came to Brent Cross Town on a scale never seen before.
As part of Murals reMastered – a collaboration between the National Gallery and Global Street Art – ‘The Water-Lily Pond’ now adorns the Visitor Pavilion, bringing the world-famous artwork into a public space for all to enjoy.
In 2022, Hanna Benihoud created Rainbow of Ribbons for Claremont Park.
After spending a day with local children, exploring colours and shapes in the sunshine, the idea of a rainbow made from ribbons shone through. Bright and tactile, the piece is a playful collaboration at its heart.
2023 saw the arrival of Here We Come, Here We Rise by Lakwena, in collaboration with IF_DO, which wraps our electricity substation next to Brent Cross West railway station.
Splashed across the structure in bold colours are the words, ‘here we come, here we rise and shine’, reflecting the community spirit of Brent Cross Town, finding new beginnings and bringing people together across the neighbourhood.
That same year, Steven Wilson’s Yesterday, Tomorrow landed in Claremont Park, inspired by the shared memories of Brent Cross Town residents.
Look for familiar faces and places amongst the abstract shapes and colours, from the Beast of Barnet to Clitterhouse Farm and suffragette Gladice Georgina Keevil.
Giles Round’s Time Passes & Still I Think of You* found its place in Brent Cross Town in 2022 as well, inside the eastern entrance to Brent Cross West station.
Dedicated to his mother, Maggie Round, who worked for a time in Brent Cross Shopping Centre, Giles explores place and identity, bringing familiar urban forms inside and inviting the designs of cityscapes the world over into the station.
*Giles Round’s Time Passes & Still I Think of You is temporarily concealed.
The station got another splash of colour with a new mural in 2026 gracing the walls opposite.
Created by Wood Street Walls, the vibrant artwork is inspired by ideas from local residents, organisations and students, celebrating the community at the centre of a growing neighbourhood right outside the train station – a place of togetherness and connection.
