London firm TV Edwards has commissioned this intriguing mural to celebrate the opening of its new offices in Whitechapel.

The painting, on Mile End Road, stands on the Olympic Highway and was designed by artist Mychael Barratt. It is packed with famous folk with a connection to the area, including: Captain James Cook; the Kray twins; Lenin; and the Elephant Man. And the young lad in short trousers over on the right? That is a young Anthony Edwards, now senior partner of the firm, visiting the office of his lawyer uncle – a habit that ultimately inspired him to become a solicitor himself.
