My mother grew up in that area, I didn’t realise these existed and will certainly go for a Lambeth Walk there. Thewy look amazing. Well done to those involved in the making of them!

Fascinating. Thank you. Will visit this weekend.

The ledger stone marking Blake’s actual burial spot in Bunhill Fields will be installed in August this year.

In Marshall Street (top left hand corner of Soho) there’s a building called William Blake House, built on the site of the house where he was born. No blue plaque but a large sign.

I’m not sure whether it’s offices or flats but whatever it is it’s spectacularly ugly.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful murals. In these troubled times Blake is my consolation and reminder of what it means to be human.

My father was a Lambeth boy way back around 1910 and I still remember all his stories, good bad and ugly..thank you, your daily Spitalfields life is truly magic..

Thank you for this tribute to William Blake, the mosaics are lovely and congratulations to all those responsible for them. So many of my ancestors lived in Lambeth, the Greenwoods and Tearoes in particular and my great grandmother Rose Fielder was born in a house overlooking the Archbishop’s garden so I was really interested in this piece although so much has changed since those days. My earliest Tearoes were watermen on the Archbishop’s barge and Sextons at St Mary Lambeth as well until more recent times so I can’t help but wonder if they would have known William Blake.

I`m a great admirer of Blake, but knew nothing of this, so thank you GA. A must visit, the next time in London. Some extraordinary work here.
