I guess that the tile motifs ("murals" is probably not the right
word) at a third station now need changing. Those at Pimlico
symbolised the "modern art" collection at the nearby Tate Gallery.
However, a few years ago the Tate opened a second London site at
Bankside, and the entire modern art collection moved there (Tate
Modern). The original Tate Gallery was rechristened Tate Britain,
and houses more traditional British landscapes. So, the modernism
of the yellow blobs at Pimlico is now a little inappropriate.

Tate Britain is not exclusively for "traditional British landscapes".
For example, it currently has two exhibitions in the "Art Now" series by
living artists, Michael Fullerton and Enrico David. It also houses the
annual exhibition of works by artists shortlisted for the Turner Prize
(this year from 18 October). So a modern art motif at Pimlico is still
appropriate.
