==Whitfield Gardens== Opposite Habitat and Heal's is a small public open space called Whitfield Gardens, occupying the former site of a chapel. On the side of a house is a painting, the "Fitzrovia Mural", which is about 20 metres (over 60 feet) high and shows many people at work and at leisure. It was painted in 1980 in a style resembling that of [[Diego Rivera]]. The mural has suffered from neglect and has been daubed with graffiti. There is a proposal to restore the mural after the current{{when|date=December 2015}} works to renovate the gardens are completed.<ref>[http://news.fitzrovia.org.uk/2010/09/06/mural-could-return-to-its-former-grace/ Mural could return to its former grace] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110216063208/http://news.fitzrovia.org.uk/2010/09/06/mural-could-return-to-its-former-grace/ |date=16 February 2011}}, News Reporters, 6 September 2010, Fitzrovia News, accessed 20 September 2010</ref><ref>[[n:Iconic London mural could be restored|Iconic London mural could be restored]], Wikinews, 20 September 2010 accessed 20 September 2010</ref> In 2005, 12 so-called "Our Glass" panels were erected in the gardens. Each is about five feet (1.5 m) high, with two sides showing a [[collage]] of people associated with the area, from satirical cartoonist [[William Hogarth]] to the popular singer [[Boy George]]. There is a 13th panel showing an index of the people depicted.
