Wallpaper - London Calling III

Our London Calling wallpaper brings together the iconic energy of classic city life with a vibrant architectural street scene photographed by Thomas Winz. A traditional red telephone box stands in the foreground, balanced by a passing cherry red double-decker bus, a black cab, and pedestrians moving past historic stone facades and leafy green trees. The composition captures the lively pulse of London with rich, warm tones that draw the eye into the depth of the streetscape. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an engaging visual centrepiece for your home.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall where the architectural perspective and street details have space to unfold. In a living room, placing this mural on the wall opposite the entrance or behind a low sofa creates an immediate sense of depth, pulling focus into the layered composition. It also suits a dedicated home office or study, where the urban atmosphere adds a lively, storied backdrop behind a desk. Because the motif carries rich detail across both foreground and background, we suggest choosing an uninterrupted wall area so the bus, telephone kiosk, and surrounding buildings remain clearly visible.

Styling it

Because this wallpaper carries a lot of graphic presence and architectural detail, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded and clean in silhouette.

• Pair with warm, mid-tone wooden furniture or simple black metal frames that echo the black cab and architectural ironwork in the scene without competing with the red focal points.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large textiles in quiet, neutral shades like soft oatmeal or heather grey to allow the bold red vehicles and telephone box to take centre stage.
• Position the wall where it receives good ambient light or directed warm accent lighting, which brings out the warmer tones in the stone facades and the lush greens of the trees.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on striking cherry red accents set against warm stone neutrals, deep blacks, slate greys, and touches of foliage green. To create a cohesive look around the room, we suggest taking cues from these foundational tones. Surrounding walls painted in warm off-white, light warm grey, or soft biscuit create a gentle transition that lets the red elements pop. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal grey or muted olive green on adjacent woodwork, shelving, or skirting can ground the room and complement the urban scene.
