Like the listed Equality–Harmony mural, the Peace Mural was commissioned by Haringey in the wake of the Broadwater Farm riot of October 1985 from local resident, artist and musician, Anthony Steele. With a similar theme it depicts the busts of three famous advocates for peace: Bob Marley, Mahatma Gandhi and John Lennon. Before them, figures occupy a bucolic landscape, and in the distance there is a mountain with civil rights activist Martin Luther King at its summit.
