The Seneca Wall that I went to see on Wednesday vastly exceeded my expectations. Not only is 180 metres long, it is also about 2.5 metres high so the effect is spectacular. You can see it on your left as you north up the Jubilee line.
The artwork has 15 panels done by artists in collaboration with local youngsters. The Seneca web site has more pictures of all the panels. The panel above was done by kids from Barham primary school. The panels are all made from recycled materials to demonstrate Seneca's belief in waste as a resource. All this came as a way for Seneca to try to reduce graffiti on the side of their building, so it is also a very imaginative way of dealing with anti-social behaviour.
Unfortunately the sheer scale of the mural makes it hard to give a real impression of how impressive it is. However, here is a photo of my favourite panel:
