Students and teachers from Carshalton College have produced some colourful artwork on the wall of Tim’s Café on Sutton High Street.

The impressive display features popular culture icons The Rolling Stones, HG Wells, Joan Armatrading, Quentin Crisp and Katie Melua.

In total 150 hours of work went into the artwork.

Students designed sections for seven weeks before professional sign writer and illustrator Mateusz J Odrobny painted the wall.

Deputy Mayor Marlene Heron spoke at the official unveiling of the designs on Wednesday.

She said: “You have seen the change in how this place looks. The upper facades have completely transformed the way the High Street looks. The improvements to the shop fronts have given a new lease of life to the High Street.”
