'About the design
In homage to the iconic Harry Beck map, this design takes the 11 letters of the Underground logo and stretches them into abstract versions of the 11 colour-coded Tube lines. Each coloured line flows around the bus using the rules but not the route of the original map, eventually joining its own name. Rather than a plain, white background. they painted the underground tiles to add another level to the theme. There is also a small, hidden item on the bus.

About the artist
Fiona and Neil Osborne (One Red Shoe) have been designing and painting murals in Cheshire and nationwide for the last 12 years. Working in public spaces, businesses and private homes - producing a portfolio ranging from large, gable-end murals to painted and furnished theme rooms. "We always try to problem solve creatively and paint our designs wonderfully.

Presented in partnership with Wild in Art, the Year of the Bus Sculpture Trails have brought businesses and artists together to create a series of free and accessible public art sculpture trails across London's streets, parks and public spaces.

The bus sculptures have been painted and adorned by well-known and aspiring artists to showcase the vital role that London's buses play in the life and economy of the city.

The sculpture trail is part of our celebrations to mark the 2014 Year of the Bus in partnership with the London Transport Museum and the capital's bus operators.

The first three trails will be installed for the public to enjoy from Monday 20 October with a fourth following before Christmas.

Following the display, the artworks will be auctioned to raise invaluable funds for three charities: Kids Company, Transaid and London Transport Museum.'
