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.

On the other hand, quite a number of the other stations' motifs
represent historic scenes. Modern art is now part of Pimlico's history.
So perhaps the motifs there are appropriate after all!

I think we should redesignate Pimlico's motif as a reference to the
confusing but pretty motifs found on the London Underground's Victoria
line.
