The Pleasure of Living mural at Shell Centre London was conceived by Armstrong circa 1961. Shell Centre was constructed in 1961, to a design by Sir Howard Robertson and was one of the first London office towers to exceed the height of the Victoria Tower of the Palace of Westminster. It occupies part of the site cleared for the 1951 Festival of Britain.
