Wembley Park is now home to a 30ft Freddie Mercury mural, which commemorates the singer's 80th birthday. Named 'I'm Mr Mercury', the artwork is anamorphic, appearing correct only when viewed from a specific point approximately 65ft distant. Street artist Frank Styles created the mural across all 58 Spanish Steps, linking Wembley Stadium and the OVO Arena.
