Quentin Blake Mural Honors New River History
Description
Quentin Blake’s dazzling new mural “A Bridge to the Past” just dropped in north London, celebrating the historic New River’s 17th-century legacy—and it’s not just pretty art, it’s a time-traveling portal. The legendary Roald Dahl illustrator invented a bridge to link eras, blending real 17th-century fishermen with his own whimsical characters, all under five meters of storytelling. It’s now gracing the café of the brand-new Quentin Blake Illustration Centre opening this Friday in Clerkenwell—with free entry for the first 50 visitors who bring their own drawings. Exhibitions cost £16.50, £6.60 for concessions, and the centre opens Wed-Sun, 10am–5pm. A perfect fusion of history, imagination, and community.
