POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Southall Stories launches today, bringing together murals, portraits, sculptures and Punjabi manji-inspired seating that reflect the town’s history and culture.

From the Broadway to Merrick Road, Norwood Road and the Dominion Centre, artists have worked with local communities to bring familiar places to life.

Featured artists include @shir.in___, @_pablothomas, @dish_kunst, @rajdraws and @haffendi.

@matt_small_art’s station bridge mural, commissioned through @jgcontemporary, is still being installed, with the finished piece to come.

The project is led by Ealing Council and funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Swipe through, pick your favourite and save this for your next walk around Southall.

🧿✨🇬🇧Proof that life can take you further than you ever imagined…

From dreaming in India to standing inside one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, Big Ben in London.

Walking through the halls of history, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for how far life can take you when you keep going—even when the path isn’t clear.

This is more than just a visit… it’s a quiet reminder that your dreams are valid, no matter where you start.

Keep creating. Keep believing. Your story is unfolding. ✨
