An interview with artist Maud Milton at her studio in Trinity Buoy Wharf at Leamouth East London where she creates the beautiful mosaic roundels that you can see at railway stations around London. Maud was working on a new roundel for Selhurst Station during the interview.
Among the roundels Maud has created are: Gospel Oak, South Tottenham, Thornton Heath, Walthamstow Central, Leyton Midland Road, Leytonstone High Road, St James Street, Chingford, and Highams Park.

Maud Milton ..... thank you, they are beautiful, love that it's a collaboration of people and they are ALL individual ... **THANK YOU JOHN** so much for sharing 🤘🤍
Brilliant community project. Far superior to the work done by D. Hockney for Piccadilly Circus. Give the London mayor a call, he needs to see these designs.
Thank you so much John for creating this film about Maud's fabulous mosaic project. So many layers to this community project. The whole concept has soul 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you for highlighting this amazing art..what a talented community 🇬🇧
Friendship, community, our London. Thanks Maud, John, everyone 🍀
Thanks john Walthamstow my child hood, what a Great post Thanks mate . stay safe 👍
Thanks Dave
What a wonderful video, how amazing to see these beautiful community projects, heartwarming and inspiring, poignant and imbued with so many memories, thoughts and feelings, past, present and future. Thanks so much for sharing this John, very special, and thanks so much to Maud and her teams of helpers, hopefully lots more to come!
Fascinating interview. What a wonderful way of showing appreciation of a location and created so beautifully by Maud . The next time I’m in my home town of Leyton I shall be visiting the Leyton Midland Road one for sure. 😊👍
I can always count on John Rogers to deliver such wonderful little stories of London and it's people. Thank you.
thanks Ivan
I'm proud to say that I've contributed to both the Thornton Heath and Selhurst roundels. Both include
tiles with impressions of daisies as that's my name! 🌼
Thank you Maud for your fabulous creations and "the amazing Averil in Thornton Heath" for thinking of me to contribute to these art works.
It’s great to see the artist behind those wonderful mosaics at Church Hill in Walthamstow. Thanks John and Maud for this fascinating video.
Love this sort of community involvement in public art. Outstanding.
Thanks so much, John, for taking us to Maud's studio. The roundels are absolutely stunning. Thank you, too, for your wonderful channel. I no longer live in London, but you help me stay in touch with my favourite city.
Beautiful things! Good film, John - thanks. And thank you to the artist - what talent!
Superb, love the old school look of the signs - yet thoroughly modern.
Absolutely gorgeous craftsmanship out of the very heart of London by this hardworking artist . awesome documentary John.
They look stunning - I hope these will go all over London.
Fantastic project! What a gem of an artist. 😘
What a talented lady John, I will look out for her roundels next time I am in London.
This is wonderful, beautiful and creative for both the Artist and the community!
I have seen these in your videos but did not realise how fascinating they are up close. What a great idea. A very talented artist.
Brilliant . I noticed the Gospel Oak one the other week ,on the way to the Lido for a swim. We could do with one for one of the 4 stations in Kilburn, or the 4 stations in West & South Hampstead
The whole of the Underground should have these. Beautiful.
Let's hope that someone in thousands of years does see fragments of these mosaics, like we can see on the floors of Pompeii
Such an amazing, joyous community initiative! Spotted these out and about in Waltham Forest. Wonderful to hear the back story. Thank you!
Thank you John, a most interesting and enlightening video. Bob.
Fascinating, thanks for doing the interview and sharing this great project.
Amazing public art. So evocative.
What a lovely thing to do.
What a lovely lady.
You're lovely too, John.

Can't believe how blown away I was by this. Just the first couple of minutes had me mesmerised. I was reminded of Islamic design, only instead of the fearful symmetry, there were all those soulful details.
I thought I would be happy never to visit London again, but I hope I can one day make a slow train pilgrimage to see all the roundels.
(Give me an Arts Council grant and call me a critic, but I think these works are worth so much more than David Hockney's silly Piccadilly Circus job.)
A great video John. Thanks for this.
Great video John, and beautiful work Maud.
Lovely 👌 😍 I'm sure they will still be there in years to come 💗
Wonderful.
What a lovely video. Thnk you John.
Beautiful! What a satisfying job!
Brilliant video - thank you!
thanks Timothy
Enjoyed the video. Hope your foot is getting better. One point: the roundels are in Waltham Forest, not just Walthamstow. Sometimes, people think that Waltham Forest is just Walthamstow. Very annoying!
Nice change to interview some local artists. Would definitely like to see more of these interviews.
How beautiful, love this. ❤
Really wonderful, thanks.
Thank you, I loved this in its seriousness and also the final cat-face.
Fascinating!
That was fascinating John. Beautiful designs and a great way to bring people together. Thank you for taking us there.
thanks for watching Christine
Hi John. Love your great blogs. Lots of great history, plus modern day stories and comments on the everyday changes in London. Loved your Pymns brook walk. You passed by my old school in Tile Kiln Lane just off the Cambridge roundabout. Left there in 1964, so was great to see it again. Keep on with the fantastic content. Best wishes Steve
A superb video-a very talented lady
Marvellous.
Wonderful, inspiring and community involvement. What more could you want. Thank you for enlightening us on this fabulous artist.
What a happy story John.👍👌😁
Beautiful artwork!👌🏻
Awesome!
Brilliant video John. She is amazing 🤩 ooh I’ve just ordered your book from Amazon “The other London” can’t wait 😛
Wow!
Thank you John lovely episode lovely lady and I totally get what she says being born in a remote village it never leaves you that sense of space and nature. Xxx
They're lovely. I haven't been into London much since the pandemic started, but I did come across the Chingford one in February last year, just before we were locked down. I wondered at the time who originated them.
Great work John, as always. What a fabulously talented lady, who produces quite exquisite works of art that can be enjoyed by all & put a smile on peoples faces daily.
Always uncertain what community art was about but I'm completely taken by these beautiful roundels created by Maud which are just so interesting and brighten our lives and cheer everyone up who was involved and will carry on doing so for many years......great vlog John thank-you
Marvelous stuff, people showing that they care about where they live and inspire future generations....PS Tottenham have renamed their local station, Tottenham Hotspur, love to see a football inspired Mosaic Roundel giving it a polished finish.
Beautiful
Great video. No walk this Sunday, but very enjoyable and interesting. Maud is a talented lady, can’t wait to see if my area gets one. Edgware Road, Paddington, Marylebone, Baker Street.
Well John, ‘see you on the next walk, wherever that might be’ missed that catchphrase this week.. 😄
Brilliant video.
Man I love your videos 🎉👍
Great video John - Maud does superb work, what an asset to those stations. Bravo!
Amazing work, what a talent.
Lovely film. I first came across Maud’s work when someone pointed me in the direction of the Thornton Heath Roundel. Until I was face to face with one I didn’t realise the details and stories put into each piece. It’s a amazing legacy for each community.
Such a very interesting video John!
Thanks Raymond
Inspiring stuff. Thank you Maud.
This resonates with my neighbourhood of Cedar Cottage in East Vancouver. The south end of Commercial Drive is known for its series of large round mosaics, which decorate the retaining wall that borders Clark Park. There are also a large number of small sidewalk mosaics around nearby Trout Lake, as well as a number of larger installations in the nearby Grandview and Woodlands neighbourhoods to the north of Cedar Cottage. Perhaps I should post this on our community Facebook page and see if it inspires anyone.
Wonderful John. What a great project.
Absolutely fantastic video John. Maude’s work is stunning. Having lived in Walthamstow for 20 odd years before moving away I always feel a connection to the area. Think it’s time to come back for a day and wander round looking at the roundels.
Thats different but very interesting indeed...
What amazing art, thanks so much really enjoyed it, I hope she gets tons more commissions, that is so powerful for the community that's the power of people's art , cheers ☯️☮️❤️
Nice one!
Wonderful work. Wish we could have these on Merseyrail.
Interesting film John. Mention of seeing the Crystal Palace burn down reminded me of my dear old dad who worked out of Custom House E16 as a "tailboard monkey" (boy assistant to a van driver) seeing that sight whilst on their delivery round.
Good evening John.
Thanks John, very interesting, I saw them putting up the roundel at South Tottenham a while ago - nice to hear the story behind the work.
That is interesting, station signs style to put a smile on people faces every day when they travel on trains.
Good looking 👌
Love the Mosaic roundels. I nice thing to do.🙂
Thanks for the video John - That is probably one of the best community projects I have seen, a brilliant idea and the quality is excellent . Great to see Leyton & Leytonstone stations included and must try to get up to see them in the flesh. Perhaps an idea for a walk would be a Mosaic Roundel Trail ?
Keep Safe.........................Cheers Kev
Great idea Kev
👏👏👏👏👏
Wow really interesting lovely woman super project 🤗♥️
some beautiful sentiments
Such a change from your walks but worth it.
Glad you enjoyed it Robert
There's a curious and cute cat at the end.
I love that Weatherall has been celebrated, one of my musical heroes.
Very nice but how is it that underground roundels are being made for overground stations?
lovely, and Maud is talented. I would have liked to see more of the wharf. And will the roundels reach all the overground stations? be great if they did.
so she got the old anvil office in the end

I am sure there must be corporate work out there be it internal or external. There are small modern architectural studios that use creative art in their design. This type of art was around on buildings in the 1930's, most now gone. At least your portfolio of work is visible everywhere.
John I enjoy your walks, but that was a different aspect of where you live, MORE PLEASE.
Can you please enable subtitles...thank you
Oh the exquisite unique beauty of them all. Looking forward to seeing and touching a few in real ‘normal’ life. What a lovely talented soul Maud seems. Thanks John.
Very early one at Maida Vale.
I wish someone can do something like that for the Hong Kong MTR.
The Mosaic roundel at St James Street Station has disappeared.
I think it's being repaired Steve
@@JohnRogersWalks Thanks John , I thought someone had stolen it.
"allotments "? that would trigger Geoff Marshall
what's wrong with the original one ? , i guess its a change to use rainbows and change traditions ,i bet its was all done by snowflakes and diversity
Why do these mosaics imply that there is something wrong with the traditional ones? Both can exist...Also, what is weak (by 'snowflake' I assume you mean weak rather than beautiful/unique) about diversity as opposed to uniformity?
Beautiful
