Hopton Street
At this stop we have installed a large mural.
Surrounded by office blocks and a stone’s throw from Tate Modern, the alms houses of Hopton Street have a garden with a magnificent fig tree. We used the fig tree as the basis for a Tree of Life. Volunteers asked the tenants of the houses what occupations they had been engaged in before retiring, and then depicted their pasts within the branches of the tree. In the background of the mural is St. Paul’s cathedral and the shadow of Tate Modern falls across the river.
