The mural was created in 1993 by two Public artists Gary Drostle and Rob Turner on the 25th anniversary of Sutton's twinning in 1968 with Wilmersdorf in Berlin. Seven individual paintings make up the mural. It is positioned along the north flank of a Victorian commercial building at the southern end of the High Street near the train station at the junction with Sutton Court Road. The paintings are on plywood and inset within seven mock window frames. The paintings depict scenes of the London Borough of Sutton and its four European twin towns: Gagny, a suburb of Paris in France; Gladsaxe, a suburb of Copenhagen in Denmark; Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany; and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin in Germany. (There is also a "friendship link"  with Tavarnelle, which is 16 miles south of Florence in Italy.)The twin towns mural was commended by the Sutton and Cheam Society in 1994. Drostle and Turner also produced the Sutton heritage mosaic.
