The Swan Road Mosaic is 3.35 metres by 9.60 metres and was made from vitreous glass by the artist David John in 1992.

The mural is one of a number of environmental art projects in which the artist was involved. The work consists of around 350,000 pieces of Italian vitreous glass specially designed for mosaics.

The background shows the skyline along Rotherhithe's riverfront, as seen from Wapping on the opposite shore. The buildings include 19th century dock warehouses, cranes and industrial chimney stacks. The scene is dominated by the clock tower of St Mary's church. It is from this ancient waterfront that the Mayflower is said to have started its voyage which took the Pilgrim Fathers from Plymouth to New England.
