For this quirky exhibition, 100 artists, illustrators and photographers were asked to create work based on song lyrics about London. Chas & Dave, Coldplay, the Beatles and Lionel Bart are among the diverse sources of inspiration. Highlights include People Will Always Need Plates' tangerine-toned graphic interpretation of The Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset"; Helen Musselwhite's intricate paper-cut depicting "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square"; and Zakee Shariff's red, green and gold print of "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant.
