About the Artist
Created by MORYARTY, this work pays tribute to the iconic era of European travel posters, blending historical inspiration with a modern sensibility. The studio is known for its focus on clarity, bold composition, and the ability to distill a city’s spirit into instantly recognizable imagery. MORYARTY’s approach draws from the visual language of early 20th-century graphic design while adapting it for contemporary interiors.
This piece is conceived as a homage to the golden age of travel advertising, when posters were essential tools for shaping perceptions of urban destinations. It invites viewers to experience London through a lens of nostalgia and optimism, echoing the excitement of exploration and arrival.
The Artwork
Travel to London is inspired by the interwar period, a time when advances in transportation made city breaks accessible to a wider public. Posters from this era condensed the essence of a place into a few compelling symbols, serving both as advertisements and as cultural touchstones. This design channels that tradition, using the iconic red double decker bus and the clock tower to evoke the energy and identity of London.
By focusing on these landmarks, the artwork captures the rhythm of urban life and the sense of anticipation that travel brings. It reflects the optimism and dynamism that defined the visual culture of early modern London.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features bold, simplified shapes, with the bus and clock tower rendered in clear, graphic forms for immediate recognition. Strong lines and minimal detailing echo the lithographic techniques of classic travel posters, emphasizing legibility and impact from a distance.
The color palette centers on vibrant red, contrasted with cool blues and accented by warm orange and brown tones. This combination creates a lively yet harmonious effect, imbuing the print with a brisk, uplifting mood reminiscent of 1930s poster art. The overall style is clean and energetic, making it a striking addition to any wall.
In Interior Design
This London travel poster integrates seamlessly into entryways, offices, or living rooms where a sense of place is desired. Its bold graphic presence suits modern, industrial, or mid-century spaces, while also providing a focal point in more eclectic interiors.
To complement the artwork, consider echoing the red in textiles or decor accents and drawing out the blues in ceramics or shelving. Discover more vintage advertising posters, or explore our curated selections of red wall decor and blue tone prints for a cohesive color story.
