Near Dalston in north London, a street mural of an elephant forcing itself between two buildings can be seen from the overground and from the back of the street below, if approaching on street level. The elephant was painted in 2014, and although it is looking a bit tired, it is still an exceptional mural to visit. The elephant was painted by Shaun Burner, a street artist originally from Sacramento, California. He often collaborates with other street artists, and his work can be seen globally. As far as I am aware, this was his only mural ever painted in London.
The mural can be seen between Haggerston and Dalston Junction overground stops. It is behind a parade of shops on what is known as Glebe Road at the Richmond Road end. The mural can also be spied from the overground carriage.
