Watch: Hidden London mural only visible from above

A huge new mural has been unveiled in south-east London - but unless you're in a helicopter or hot air balloon, you'll likely miss it.

The artwork, a pair of vast eyes gazing skywards, sits atop the Blenheim Shopping Centre in Penge. Organisers claim it's the capital's largest non-commercial street art.

It's the work of Salvadorian-born London artist Abraham O, who spent seven days painting it. "No one is going to see it," he said.

Local collective London Calling Blog, behind the project, says the building is due for demolition. The £1,600 mural was crowdfunded and painted with the developers' permission.
