The co-ordinates given are for the Church Lane entrance to the underpass where a stainless-steel plaque (see photos) advises of the Hitchcock Gallery. All the exhibits are mosaics.

This mosaic is entitled "Suspicion". Suspicion stars Cary Grant as charming playboy, husband whom Joan Harrison begins to suspect is trying to murder her. The mosaic depicts Grant climbing the stairs with a glass of "milk" in one of the film's most memorable scenes.

Multiple coloured ceramic pieces are used to show this scene. Yellows and greens abound as the wall covering and reds as the carpet on the stairs. The suit, worn by the character, is mainly gray.

The mosaic is approximately four feet high and three feet wide.

Specific visit requirements:
The mosaics are in a pedestrian underpass that runs beneath the Central Line tracks at Leytonstone station and is open 24/7. This is a public area so no ticket is required.
