Art On The Underground’s latest commission in their Brixton Underground station series went up earlier this month, and it can be viewed in all its glory right above entrance stairs.

The work by Aliza Nisenbaum features fifteen London Underground staff members, including cleaners, customer service assistants and back office staff.
