A large art work has appeared under the Bow Flyover ahead of the Olympics.

The sign with individual letters reading the name Bow has been put up as part of the decoration for High Street 2012.

The high street project aims to spruce up the area connecting the City with the Olympic Park at Stratford.

Light, purely for decoration, will also be placed under the roundabout, according to a Transport for London spokesman.

Geraniums have also been planted to provide immediate colour and interest during the Games while a permanent planting scheme will be installed after the Games.

The spokesman added: “TfL has worked to declutter and resurface the footpaths around the roundabout.”
