Street Art in London 2
After my last street art walk in London, I felt that it was worth paying another visit to that area
. So I went back to Brick Lane/ Hoxton and uncovered a few more art pieces. It was an enjoyable afternoon/ evening. Here are some of the pics that I took.
It will only take you a few minutes of your time to visit a few hidden and not-so-hidden pockets of London. Fancy visiting?
One of the aspects of street art is its dynamism. One day, you can see a dull wall, the next you can see a great graffiti which may even have been specially commissioned. This one gives this little square a bit more of interest.
This is on the trendy Hoxton area. The second set was taken where a bar used to be, a former favourite in the area I think.
Next to the second set above, we see another art piece by Roa! Remember the crane, the hedgehog and the squirrel?

Once in Brick Lane, some designs keep cropping up:
There are art pieces everywhere:
Variety is an aspect of street art:
Snobism in the arts is not new:
Some sculptures are quite new to me. These are hanging on walls in different places, some of them are more new than others:
Graffitis by Pez:
Back to the 80´s by Graffiti Life:
Some more graffitis:
Now, this is street art too!
Thank you for reaching the end of the page. Hope you have enjoyed! Are there any examples of urban art that you have particularly enjoyed?
London is just exploding with great street art. Another extraordinary post! I have to come back to London. Forget the British Museum and the Tate Modern. It is happening in the Streets!
Thank you! What is your favourite piece of all the ones in this post?
These are amazing! I’d like to get on a plane to Britain just to walk around and look at these. I think (today) my favourites are the first one and the last one (not the musician although I agree he is an artist as well). The two women’s faces are striking and I am fascinated by them. However, like I said…today. Tomorrow I may like one of the more campy ones best. 😉
I like the two women’s faces too. I used to find it quite hard to paint them when I did drawing or painting.
I just organised to go on that alternative london tour in 2 weeks, can’t wait!
So cool! I should do that soon too. Shakespeare goes first, though…
