The mural was created in 1993 by two Public artists Gary Drostle[1] and Rob Turner on the 25th anniversary of Sutton's twinning in 1968 with Wilmersdorf in Berlin.

It is positioned along the north flank of a Victorian commercial building at the southern end of the High Street near the train station at the junction with Sutton Court Road.

The paintings depict scenes of the London Borough of Sutton and its four European twin towns: Gagny, a suburb of Paris in France; Gladsaxe, a suburb of Copenhagen in Denmark; Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany; and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin in Germany.

Councillor Graham Tope, explained the purpose of the new sign: These murals are an important part of our borough's history and I think it's fitting that people should be able to learn more about them.
