Rest and be thankful
There's a mosaic floor in the vestibule of the National Gallery that celebrates the pleasures of life. I had a decko on Saturday as I drifted around the West End. This bit caught my eye: "Rest and Be Thankful" says the pub sign. Wonderful.
The mosaics are the work of Boris Anrep, an Anglo-Russian artist. They date back to the 1930s. The National Gallery's website has more information. His work can also be found at the Bank of England and Westminster Cathedral.
