The 52-metre-long permanent public artwork wraps the electrical substation at London Brent Cross Town

London Brent Cross Town, one of the largest urban regeneration projects in Europe, has had its electrical substation wrapped to create a 21-metre-high and 52-metre-long permanent public artwork.

The artwork, titled “Here we come, here we rise”, has been created by London-based artist Lakwena and architect IF_DO. The statement reflects the ambition to inspire and bring people together in the local community.

The site sits next to London’s A406 North Circular at the junction with the M1 motorway, adjacent to both the Thameslink railway line and the new Brent Cross West station, which is due to open this year.
