A mural measuring 41 square metres, featuring Claude Monet’s Impressionist painting 'The Water-Lily Pond', has been installed in Claremont Park, located within the Brent Cross Town development. The artwork brings a rendition of the French countryside to the north London area.
This installation is part of Murals reMastered, a joint initiative between the National Gallery and Global Street Art.
