Public Art Exhibition Vitreous Enamel Panels

Links Signs is proud to have recently completed work on South Ruislip Stories – a series of colourful vitreous enamel panels. They comprise the newest public art installation unveiled and commissioned by Hillingdon Council, in partnership with Transport for London. Designed to be a permanent public art installation either side of the road beneath South Ruislip Bridge, the six vibrant panels each tell a story about a historical aspect of the local area, in a graphic style inspired by old London Underground and Metroland posters.

The South Ruislip Stories project is fully funded by contributions from land and property developers to Hillingdon Council, otherwise known as Section 106 Agreements, towards the regeneration of South Ruislip town centre. 2022. The art installation was commissioned by Hillingdon Council. The Metroland style of the graphics was researched, designed and illustrated by Designed by Good People and facilitated with the help of Cllr Sir Ray Puddifoot MBE and South Ruislip Councillors.

What our clients say

A pleasure to work with Links again on such a poignant programme. Delivering amazing high quality. Very much looking forward to working together again in the future.
Robert Varney – Engagement Officer (North) & TfL Charities Scheme Manager
Links Signs took on the challenge to provide the awards for the first Transport for London Supplier Awards. Using products and materials that are supplied to TfL for our station signage, Links created very impressive plaques for our winners and runners up. Throughout the production process Links kept TfL up to date with images, delivery schedule and were always on hand to clarify any queries. We look forward to working with them again next year.
Amanda Green – Transport for London
Link Signs provide a first class service throughout the design, production and delivery process. I worked closely with the team on a high profile project, with requirements changing on a sometimes daily basis. Links Signs went and above and beyond to meet our requirements and surpassed our expectations. I would highly recommend and endorse working with Link Signs.
Catherine Villegas – Project Manager, Transport for London
The team at Links Signs provide unfailing support and flexibility, which enables us to develop ambitious schemes and be confident of the highest quality results. Working with them has transformed the way we approach our exhibition design.
Catherine Harvey – Hastings Museum Office & Keeper of World Art
Links Signs successfully managed a complex project overseeing the manufacture and installation of 48 panels to create a bespoke mural on the Transport for London (TfL) owned bridge and the station entrance at Northwood Hills station. Links ensured not only that all the technical and engineering requirements of TfL were met but also that the extensive colour hues specified by mural artists Gordon Collett and Cosmo Sarson were achieved. The finished result is wonderful, as summed up by Mayor of London Boris Johnson when he visited ‘My God, it’s beautiful! Did we do this? The murals – they’re sensational!’ He added: ‘I think it’s all fantastic, really imaginative. I’m very proud.’
Helena Webster – Town Centre Improvements Team Manager, London Borough of Hillingdon
Links Signs are experienced, professional and offer great value for money. I know I am in safe hands when I am working with them.
