Created by artist A Appert, this stunning piece showcases an expansive birds-eye view of London as seen from Westminster. The focal point is the majestic River Thames winding its way through the heart of the city.

To the left lies St James's Park, adding a touch of natural beauty amidst this urban panorama. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this artwork, transporting us back to an era when England was at its height as a global power.
