An artwork hailed as Europe's longest is being installed along a two kilometre stretch of the Elizabeth Line.
Once complete, the first public artwork by British artist Sonia Boyce OBE, will run along a wall through North Woolwich, Silvertown and Custom House.
Newham Trackside Wall is due to be completed in July and is the culmination of nine months of work by the artist with borough organisations.
More than 170 stories feature in homage to the nostalgia of the past and detailing ambitions for the future.
Sonia said: "I am grateful to all those who have shared their memories and hopes for their neighbourhoods so generously.
"The artwork offers a glimpse of the many voices and events that have shaped this part of London. To see those stories, and the rich history of Newham, going up on the wall is a truly special moment."
The artwork - which was commissioned by Crossrail, curated by UP Projects and engineered by Atkins - shows buildings, street scenes, flora and fauna from the area.
