An outdoor mural on the front of the the former civic centre in the Old Kent Road has been given a Grade II listing by Historic England.

The work, completed in 1965, is by Adam Kossowski whose mosaics can also be seen further along the Pilgrims’ Way at Aylesford Priory.

The panels depict pilgrims to Canterbury as well as famous figures who have entered London by way of the Canterbury road.

The initiative for listing has come from the Twentieth Century Society.
