In November 2021, London was recognized as the first UNESCO ‘City of Music’ in Canada, acknowledging London’s leadership in music education, production and engineering.
London artists, festivals and music venues make London a fantastic year-round destination for concert-goers. This unique ‘City of Music’ designation recognizes what has been accomplished to date and the commitment made to collaboratively work within the UNECO Creative Cities Network on a global and local scale.

The UNESCO City of Music mural series celebrates and showcases this distinction at three impactful locations. The London International Airport and the VIA Rail London train station act as an initial welcome for national and international travellers. Upon first entering the city, visitors are met with beautiful artistic displays that communicate London’s vibrant art scene and specific dedication to music industry development. RBC Place London similarly welcomes guests from Canada and abroad as a central hub for meetings, conventions, conferences and more.

ABOUT THE MURAL
On March 29, 2023, the City of London, London Arts Council and RBC Place London celebrated the unveiling of the newly installed London UNESCO City of Music Mural located in the lobby of RBC Place London.
The mural was created by local artist Tova Hasiwar through the City of London’s Public Art and Monument Program in partnership with the London Arts Council and RBC Place London. As a UNESCO City of Music, London is a distinguished and unique hub for creativity, which is signified through the bold and bright design of this piece and it’s especially vibrant translucent records.
