Anyone know what murals there are on the Victoria Line, and what they mean?

The ones I know of a

- Brixton - heap of bricks (i.e. a ton of bricks, or Brickston. Not very
imaginative)

- Stockwell - If I remember rightly, lots of zigzag lines. Not sure what
this means.

A stylised swan, isn't it?

- Vauxhall - something like leaves growing on a trellis. Again, nswtm.

- Pimlico - a grid with yellow circles in each square in the grid. Nswtm.

Supposedly a piece of abstract art, to reflect the Tate Gallery.

- Victoria - a silhouette of Queen Victoria (I presume).

- Green Park - some leaves (probably from trees in Green Park)

- Oxford Circus - snakes and ladders. I heard that this is supposed to
signify the confusion one encounters when changing from line to line here
(since there are three lines that intersect here).

- Warren Street - a maze - just as confusing as a rabbit warren, I guess.

- Euston - I think this has something like a portico. Nswtm.

The old portico from Euston overground station.

- King's Cross St. Pancras - a crown with a cross underneath. Fairly
obvious.

- Highbury and Islington - I haven't been here in ages - I think it has two
pistols crossed. If so, nswtm.

Highbury was just outside the old city boundaries, and so people used to
go and fight duels there.

- Finsbury Park - I think this has a balloon, but I'm not sure, and I'm
nswtm either.

This is a mistake by LU; they thought balloons used to be launched here,
but in fact it was from Finsbury Pavement near Moorgate.

- Seven Sisters - I think this has seven trees which I think represent seven
trees that really did exist at one point and were called 'Seven Sisters'.

- Tottenham Hale - no idea.

A ferry boat, from the Lea ferry.

- Blackhorse Road - I think this has a black horse.

- Walthamstow Central - no idea.

A William Morris design; he was local.
