MurWalls 🎨 Harlow Street Art, Blazing a Trail with the UK’s Biggest Names

Posted on May 28th, 2025 in Harlow Business Case Study

MurWalls, a Harlow-based business, has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the UK to bring their street art visions to life. From Taylor Swift to Ed Sheeran and Elton John, MurWalls has generated commissioned works that showcase their creative flair for design and large-scale visual street art. Incorporating vibrant colours, unique designs, and branding, their creations stand out to the masses.

Based within the ARU Arise building at the Harlow Innovation Park, CEO Marc Silver shared the journey from starting up to working with some of the UK’s biggest names:

“The business started back in 2019, bringing together a range of talented artists. Clients would contact us for bespoke street art pieces to promote their products, concerts, football teams, or simply to brighten up an area. We secured high-profile work early on, which raised our profile and led to more bookings with big celebrities and brands.”

Since its inception, MurWalls has risen as a leader in commercial street art, gaining incredible popularity. Blockbuster films such as Ghostbusters Afterlife and Furiosa have used MurWalls to create stunning visual promotions. Additionally, the team has worked with world-class football clubs, creating evocative murals to commemorate teams and individual players, including:

• Liverpool legends painted across the streets of Anfield
• Bukayo Saka mural painted onto the player’s secondary school
• Ganacho and Mainoo talent from Manchester United

With a vast portfolio of projects, Marc shared some of his favourites:

“We’ve worked on amazing projects with amazing people. One standout is the Ed Sheeran mural we created just outside Ipswich Stadium. Ed personally viewed the work and met some of the artists. He was lovely and really impressed with the work.”

The team has also secured several brand licenses, allowing them to incorporate familiar characters such as Transformers, Care Bears, Teletubbies, and Dennis the Menace into their designs.

Over the last three years, MurWalls has been working on a local project in Stevenage, introducing vibrant street art to the town’s underpasses and busy areas. Showcasing the area’s rich history and standout icons, MurWalls hopes to replicate similar projects in more local areas.

Another exciting development is the announcement of MurWalls Publishing, which creates bespoke products and merchandise echoing MurWalls artworks. Street art campaigns can now be promoted through purchasable items such as posters, mugs, and t-shirts. For example, a street art depiction of Lionel Messi was available on t-shirts through MurWalls Publishing. The idea is to work with partners who commission the artwork to create an extended experience for audiences.

Looking ahead, Murwalls has an exciting pipeline of projects for 2025/26. Many of their works are top secret until the unveiling, so watch this space. Locally, MurWalls is eager to work in Harlow on landscape items and businesses. If you have a large outdoor space or office that needs rejuvenating, MurWalls can add a personalized and modern touch to inject vibrancy into everyday life. For more information, please contact:
