The Brighton Museum and Art Gallery is exhibiting that retrospective of Rex Whistler's work that I mentioned way back in April 2005. There are more details here. And just to give you some idea, here is an charming example of Rex's murals from a room he painted at Plas Newydd on the Isle of Anglesy, scanned very badly by me from a plate in Rex's biography "The Laughter and the Urn", written by his brother Laurence.
Anyway, if you are going to be in London soon, then I suggest you make a day jaunt down to Brighton for the Whistler show, it will be a very worthwhile trip and you can lose your teeth in a "stick of rock" while you're there.
Brighton Rocks!
(sorry)
