Waterloo Station
This stop is located on Tennison Way and Boyce Street and includes two signs and two William Blake murals.
The Bus Sign combines the face of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, with the body of Botticelli’s Venus. She is pointing towards the buses with an embarrassed look on her face because she is also shy of being naked in public. She points away from her boyfriend who is carrying their baby on his shoulders, behind the bus. In the background the skyline of London is visible.
The Train sign uses Seurat’s renowned painting of working class bathers at Asnieres, which hangs in the National Gallery, as the basis for a story of people catching the train at Waterloo to visit the countryside and relax. There is also a woman with umbrella and daughter, referencing work by Matisse.
