[BLOG POST IN BIO] Brick Lane has been Wicked-ified to celebrate the release of Wicked: For Good 🩷💚 🧱 The transformation has been taken place as a special collaboration between Truman Brewery, @Universal Pictures UK and Tower Hamlets Council, involving six top street artists known for their unique styles 💛 Until the 2nd Dec @Wicked: For Good #wickedforgood#yellowbrickroad#wickedmovie#wickedmovie2025#streetart
Londoners and tourists can follow the iconic Yellow Brick Lane until the 2nd December to celebrate the new Wicked film, Wicked: For Good.
Even the street name plaques have been temporarily changed from Brick Lane to Yellow Brick Lane.

The transformation has been taken place as a special collaboration between Truman Brewery, Universal Pictures UK and Tower Hamlets Council, involving six top street artists known for their unique styles.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The artists are Taya De La Cruz, James Cocran aka Jimmy C, Tom Blackford, Mr Cenz, Sophie Mess and Nicholas Dixon.
You can follow the Yellow Brick Lane from the Banglatown Arch to the area around the Old Truman Brewery and spot beautiful large scale murals featuring Elphaba, Glinda, the flying monkeys, and a pink and green door symbolising the relationship between Glinda and Elphaba.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is also a quote on the Old Truman Brewery’s wall written in pink and green neon letters.
A Secret Project
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The Yellow Brick Lane project has been kept top secret. So much so that the artists didn’t even know what design they would paint until they arrived at Brick Lane or who the other artists were.
The projects had to be done at an extremely short period of time. The street artists had just two days to finish their artworks.
The six artists worked tirelessly to finish on time while a constant rainfall gave them difficult times. Tents and industrial drying machines were used to prevent the paintings from melting and allow them to dry completely.
Mr Cenz’s Futuristic Funky Style Portrait of Elphaba and Glinda
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Mr Cenz is known for his futuristic style artworks. He usually paints solo portraits but now he chose to create a dual portrait of Elphaba and Glinda to showcase the contrast between the two characters.
Tom Blackford’s Flying Monkeys
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Graffiti artist Tom Blackford wanted to choose less obvious characters from the film.
He chose the flying monkeys because their aesthetic stands close to Blackford’s slightly dark style.
Sophie Mess’s Floral Design
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Sophie Messpainted her signature giant florals in 10 shades of pink and green. She painted flowers inspired by the film: tulips and flower fields of Munchkinland. She often incorporates text into her artworks. This time the text says: ‘For Good’ referring to the title of the film.
Nicholas Dixon’s Colliding Circles
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Nicholas Dixon paints “what he cannot put into words”. He uses vivid colours to express his deepest feelings.
For this special project, he chose to paint two colliding circles, titled, ‘When Worlds Collide’ with the word ‘Wicked’ in them using typography inspired by the lettering of the original Wicked of Oz film and the first Wicked film from 2024.
The artwork has a strong message: never judge a book by its cover.
(Unfortunately, the mural was partly damaged when we visited, so we can only show part of it)
Jimmy C’s Bubble Glinda
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Jimmy C is known for his unique bubble-style artworks. One of his most famous murals is the ‘bubble lady’ in Shoreditch.
As Glinda is famously travels in a giant bubble, it couldn’t have matched more perfectly to his style.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Jimmy also painted Elphaba but in a completely different style. To paint her, he used a so called ‘scribble painting’ technique. Using this technique, the finished portrait gives the impression that the character is very powerful.
Taya De la Cruz’s Pink and Green Doors
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Taya De La Cruz uses a very special technique for her artworks. She uses syringes to create the most precise drips of resin and acrylic.
She created two matching doors, one pink and one green, symbolising the special bond between Elphaba and Glinda and how they seek good within each other. The two doors act like a portal to goodness. Who would you become if you opened the doors and stepped in?

Mary Shelley Wrote Frankenstein as Part of a Writing Challenge
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein as part of a writing challenge between herself and famous poets, Percy Shelley (her husband) and Lord Byron.
While visiting Villa Diodati in Switzerland, a violent storm reached the whole country and forced all three of them within the walls of the villa. Stuck indoors for days, Byron suggested a writing competition. All three of them wrote ghost stories to pass time and they voted for the best.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Needless to say, Shelley’s Frankenstein won the competition. It was 1816 and Mary Shelley was only 18 years old, and this was her first time writing a fiction novel. Frankenstein was published two years later in 1818.
If the weather was nice during Mary Shelley’s visit in Switzerland, she would probably have never written Frankenstein.
Over the decades, her novel inspired films, literature, fashion, music, technology and science. The impact of the story of ‘The Modern Prometheus’ is with us even today in the 21st century to remind us that we are responsible for what we’ve created.

Feel the goosebump as the iconic Jurassic Gates opens in front of you revealing an astonishing world full of gentle giants, the cutest baby dinos and legendary predators.
Board the ferry to Isla Nublar and immerse into legendary scenes from the Jurassic World franchise. Jurassic World: The Experience is the only official movie franchise experience, and it promises that you will never get so close to dinosaurs than during this experience.
Well, let’s see how close we can actually get to dinosaurs.
You’ve Seen It, Now Experience It
Photo: Urban Adventurer
When the experience says this the closest you will ever get to dinosaurs, they absolutely mean it!
The first thing you’ll encounter right after stepping through the iconic Jurassic Gates is a magnificent Brachiosaurus as peacefully munching on leaves from the top of trees.
This gentle giant is so close to you, you can see all the little details of its skin. Take breath-taking selfies for your Insta by standing right under its head and blow your mind by how tall this creature actually was.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
You can visit John Hammon’s lab, peek into dinosaur eggs to see the embryos with a special machine, marvel at the cutest new born dinosaur babies and even pet some of the babies while their caretaker holds them. You can snap a selfie with a baby Raptor, but if you prefer gentle chubby Herbivores (animal that feeds on plants), you can pet Bumpy the baby Ankylosaurus.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is a room where you can actually sit in and take selfies with Gyrospheres; those transparent giant glass globes that used in the film to go and roam with dinosaurs.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The ultimate heart-pounding moment is when you find yourself face-to-face with Blue the Velociraptor and the king of the predators, a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
To enhance your experience further, you can even touch real fossilised dinosaur bone!

‘The Legend of the Titanic: The Immersive Exhibition’ is the largest Titanic exhibition ever held in London.
The experience brings visitors for a breath-taking 2-hour multi-sensory journey to experience the legacy of Britain’s most famous ocean liner from the very beginning until it met its chilling fate halfway to New York on the Atlantic Ocean.
The experience consists of two VR experiences and a breath-taking 360-degree projection room where visitors can witness the story of the Callaghan family, a fictional father and daughter duo travelling on the Titanic and miraculously survived to reunite with their mother and wife in the United States.
Original Movie Props from James Cameron’s Titanic (1997)
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Upon arriving, make sure you scan the QR code at the entrance because the exhibition has a lot of AR elements you don’t want to miss.
After receiving your boarding pass, you will be virtually greeted by Captain Smith himself (the AR experience is available in 5 different languages) who will be your guide during your time at the exhibition.
In the first room, original props are on display from the Oscar winning ‘Titanic’ movie (1997) directed by James Cameron.
The props include entire table settings of White Star Line plates, cutleries and glasses actors and actresses used in the film. Every single piece of that tableware was specifically produced for the film and looks exactly like the originals passengers used on the ship in 1912.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is also an oak travelling secret desk used by Kate Winslet in the film along with a limited-edition Kate Winslet doll wearing the exact same blue and white dress Winslet wore in the film.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is also a ticket and advertising application from the film’s red carpet event, held in Leicester Square in 1997. The form informs that His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales would be attending to the event.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
A life jacket used in the film is also on display with the signature of Bernard Hill, the actor who played Captain Smith.
There are also replica outfits ladies and gentlemen wore at that time and some additional information about dressing habits and social requirements in the early 20th century Britain.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The information panels displayed at different stages of the exhibition have been written by historians and exhibition curators. Take your time to read these panels because they provide detailed information about the ship, its passengers, the survivors and they even investigate myths and urban legends about the Titanic.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Did you know that there is a photo of the iceberg that caused the sink of the Titanic?
A photograph was taken from the Prinz Adalbert on the 16th April 1912. Traces of red paint could be seen along the side of the iceberg where the Titanic hit it and scratched it.
Virtual Reality Room and 360 Degree Projection Room
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There are two VR experiences visitors can enjoy during their exhibition journey.
The first one is a seated VR experience where you will embark on an emotional journey on the board of the Titanic, called ‘Until the orchestra fell silent!’. This experience is playing tribute to the brave musicians who played on the sinking ship to help keep the passengers calm. They kept playing while other crew members helped the passengers into the life boats and watched the boats getting father and farther away from the ship floating on the ice cold Atlantic Ocean. They kept playing while the water slowly reached their feet. They kept playing even after the electricity went out on the entire ship. They kept playing until they couldn’t play anymore.
During this moving VR experience you will hear composer René Merkelbach’s newly composed piece, ‘Nearer, My God, to Tee’ that he wrote specifically for this experience.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The next room is the 360 degree floor-to-ceiling projector room where you will witness the Titanic being built in Belfast, being launched and sail to Southampton.
You will feel like you were literally on the board of the ship, enjoying the golden sunset, feeling the gently breeze on your cheeks and hearing the seagulls around you.
You will watch the story of two 3rd class passengers, Elisabeth Callaghan and her father as they’re travelling to New York to reunite Elisabeth’s sickly mother who is in hospital.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
You will embark on an exciting journey with Elisabeth to explore the ship from the 3rd class all the way up to the elegant 1st class and even the engine room.
You will witness the Titanic fatal encounter with the iceberg and how everything changed in the blink of an eye for Elisabeth and her father.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Elisabeth Callaghan and her father miraculously survived the catastrophe, but many others met their faith in the ice cold water.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There were approx. 2,200 passengers on board of the Titanic approx. 1,400 of which died in the catastrophe.
Your next stop will be another VR experience.
This time you will board on a submarine to explore the wreckage of the Titanic lying 4km under the ocean.
Once you reached the bottom of the ocean, you will step into a glowing portal that brings you back in time and magically you’ll find yourself on the board of the Titanic.
You’ll have a chance to explore the engine room, and the classes from the 3rd to the 1st before enjoying the golden sunset on the deck.
At the end of your journey, Captain Smith gives you a farewell before a staff member helps you take your headset off.
‘The Legend of the Titanic: The Immersive Exhibition’ is a family-friendly experience suitable for all ages.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
At the end of the experience kids (and grown-ups) can test their memory and other skills at the interactive tables. There are multiple games to choose from. There are puzzles and memory games, or you can test your navigation skills by navigating the Titanic among the maze of icebergs.
At another room you can colour a drawing and scan your masterpiece to see it come alive as being projected on the big screen. Plus, you can bring your drawing home.
Café de Parisien
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Inspired by the original onboard elegant café, Café de Parisien offers light bits, sandwiches, cakes and hot and cold drinks to passengers.
Make sure you try the interactive mirrors in the café. Simply put your hand on the mirror and watch yourself transforming into a Titanic passenger.

The Highest-Ever Public Sculpture Display in the UK
Celebrating the upcoming release of the Superman movie from director James Gunn, a 3.5m (11ft) tall Superman sculpture appeared floating above London’s iconic landmark, The Shard on the 1st July for one day only.
The sculpture weighted 120kg and it had taken four months to create. The sculpture looked exactly like actor David Corenswet because his body and face had been 3D scanned and translated to a physical character to be displayed as the highest public sculpture ever in the UK.
The Shard is 310 metres high, and the Superman sculpture was soaring at 300 metres high in his iconic costume and cape, one leg bent, the head looking down, just like in the film as though he was scanning potential threat to protect the city from.
At times two Daily Planet helicopters also appeared to circle around Superman to nod to the iconic fictional newspaper’s tagline, ‘Look Up’.

‘The World of Tim Burton’ exhibition has been touring for a decade and now it reached its final destination, London.

The exhibition starts with Burton’s childhood in Burbank, California, a suburban American neighbourhood, he called “Anywhere, USA” in an interview.
Young Tim Burton has become interested in horror and science fiction from an early age that fuelled his artistic style over the decades.
At age nine, he asked his mother to make him a skeleton Halloween outfit that later inspired Jack Skellington, the protagonist of cultic stop motion animation film: ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’.
The exhibition showcases Burton’s early works that eventually have never been used because they halted at various stages of the projects.
There is an original letter, the 18-year-old Tim Burton sent to Disney with one of his projects, called ‘The Giant Zlig’. The response letter came from Jeanette Kroger, Editor of Walt Disney productions is also on display. In the letter, the editor rejects Burton’s work, but includes some positive feedback regarding the story and the art and finishes the letter saying “keep up the good work, and good luck”.

There is also a recreation of Burton’s studio which gives visitors a glimpse into his working process.
If you take a closer look to the wall, you will spot some illustrations and drawings from recent projects, such as ‘Wednesday’ he produced during the Covid_19 pandemic.
Sketchbooks, Movie Props and Costumes

Twist and Turn

A long neon lit corridor leads visitors to the next exhibition room.
The corridor is twisted and turned, just like the scenes and characters in a Tim Burton film.

Tim Burton depicts physical reality as it is personally felt, not as it appears, distorting perspective and the human figure itself. His drawings, paintings, and sculptures often reflect the director’s childhood belief that he was a ‘misunderstood outcast.’

During your journey in the twisted corridor, you will encounter with giant sculptures and paintings before coming across an eerie Gothic merry-go-round in the final room.
‘The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories’

The final exhibition room showcases Burton’s various other projects, including music videos, photography and illustrated books, such as ‘The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories’ (1997)
The characters of the above projects are now on display at Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge.
The centre stage of the display is the five sculptures from ‘The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories’ that have been borrowed from Burton’s personal collection.
As part of the collaboration, Harvey Nichols is offering Tim Burton-themed afternoon tea until the 28th December 2024.
Photography

Tim Burton is primarily known as filmmaker; however, he is also a passionate photographer.
His photo projects are deeply personal and separate from his professional work. The exhibition highlights a bunch of photographs taken over a span of 5 years (2019-2024), highlighting recurring motifs and Burton’s signature style.
