A mural featuring England manager Gareth Southgate, captain Harry Kane and star forward Raheem Sterling was unveiled on Tuesday at Vinegar Yard in Bermondsey.
The mural, commissioned by Mayor Sadiq Khan to celebrate the team’s achievement in reaching the final of Euro 2020, was created by “urban street artists” MurWalls and features the slogan: “You did us proud.”
“The murals created by MurWalls unveiled today are a wonderful celebration of a team that have inspired and united our nation in our time of need. I encourage as many people as possible to take a look and get out and about in our wonderful capital this summer.”
Marc Silver, founder of MurWalls, said: “Football may not quite have come home but pride in our national team certainly did - and that’s in no small part down to the leadership of Gareth Southgate.
“On and off the field, he and his players are true role models for young Londoners and we’re delighted to be working with the Mayor to celebrate their historic achievement on home turf. We look forward to honouring them going one better next year.”
Neil Benson, of Vinegar Yard, said: “We’re proud to have these murals on display at Vinegar Yard to show our support for Gareth Southgate and the team who inspired the nation.”
