Youngsters have used graffiti to transform a bridge linking Hampstead Heath and Gospel Oak.
Last week, the HeathBridge Art Project, run by HVH Arts, saw children aged eight to 18 spray paint the pathway leading from Savernake Road, as part of a charity scheme to encourage creativity and community engagement.
The murals feature two steam trains made up of characters and creatures imagined by the children, drawing on the mystical and the magical.
A type of tropical garden – similar to the themes and adventures of Alice in Wonderland – is also depicted, with further plans to create a biodiversity area that attracts local wildlife.
