We’ll kick things off with this old-school piece in the car park at Penge East station. You can call this the OG of Penge’s murals – it dates from 1982 and was painted by the Coal Yard Youth Group on the back of what used to be the Park Tavern. Walk over the railway bridge to the other side of Penge East station.
Bird and nightscape by Aspire and a vibrant depiction of a black woman by Woskerski. Walk down Linden Grove and follow the road as it bends to the left.
Snorkelling duck by Roo. A very good boy by Layla. Double back on yourself to take the small alleyway to Parish Lane and turn left.
Keep an eye out for the sliver of work depicting a mythical seahorse woman on the side of one of the houses. Artist unknown. Carry on down Parish Lane towards Alexandra Nurseries. A dog clutching his spray can by Irony. Carry on down Parish Lane and turn right after Stitch & Clean Dry Cleaners onto Bycroft Street.

Look under the awnings of Taylor & Abel and you’ll find this piece – artist unknown.

You’ll have to keep a sharp eye for this piece by Woskerski as it will be behind you as you walk along Maple Road. Carry on...
Walk down Padua Road to find a veritable glut of pieces clustered together. Though they each have their own distinct style, they work incredibly well together, playing off each other to form a cohesive whole. I love the dog peeping over the wall! Works from right to left by Atila, Fiya 101 and Fat Cap Sprays and Dotmaster – dog by Irony. Walk to th...
