Passengers leaving Heathrow Airport in the coming days may notice something unusual below them. A giant 1,750-square-metre (18,800 sq ft) mural has been installed directly under the flight path, offering window-seat travelers a surprise aerial artwork.
Felix the Cat Mural Celebrates England's World Cup Campaign
The eye-catching display, created by a cat food brand, shows Felix the cat with his trademark mischievous stare locked on a mouse, alongside the strapline: "It's coming home." This creative nod to England fans' hopes of international glory comes as manager Thomas Tuchel prepares to lead the team into another major tournament campaign, with supporters dreaming of ending 60 years of hurt.
Artwork Visible from the Air Until June 18
The slogan riffs on the iconic lyrics from Three Lions, reimagining the football anthem through Felix's self-interested lens. Alongside the artwork sits Felix's broader brand message, "It's great to be a cat," celebrating the playful nature of Britain's favorite felines. The mural will remain visible from the air until at least June 18, with aerial photography teams capturing images for those on the ground.
Celebrity Creator Chunkz Joins the Campaign
Celebrity creator and YouTube star Chunkz also joined the shoot, filming exclusive content for his TikTok during the helicopter-supported photography session. Issy Smithson from Felix said the campaign is the brand's most ambitious yet, adding: "This is our biggest, boldest advert yet for Felix – both in terms of sheer scale and wit, as we bring Felix's signature mischief to the heart of the most important cultural conversations of the moment."
